👉 A "despite fluid" refers to a condition where fluid, typically blood or cerebrospinal fluid, is present in an area where it should not normally be. This can occur due to various reasons such as blood leakage from damaged blood vessels, a brain tumor causing increased pressure and fluid accumulation, or conditions like liver cirrhosis leading to portal hypertension. The presence of fluid in these areas can disrupt normal bodily functions, potentially leading to symptoms like swelling, increased intracranial pressure, or organ dysfunction. The term "despite" here highlights that the fluid is still there, indicating an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
