Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Ascites

👉 The term "ascites" refers to a condition where the fluid that normally fills the spaces between bones in the abdomen is produced by the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and removing excess water, electrolytes, and other substances from the body. In the case of ascites, this fluid may accumulate within the abdominal cavity due to a variety of reasons such as kidney disease, tumors, or injuries. It can cause discomfort, pain, and swelling in the lower abdomen
