[@unniroshan]

Hi medicosis perfectionalis, i have a doubt Why is ascitic protein >2.5 in post-hepatic portal hypertension (budd-chiari, CHF) even though it's a transudate ? If water flows out into peritoneum, shouldn't "ascitic protein" get diluted and become low ?

[@lm4661]

lymphoma & TB military will have SAAG = 0.8 (A) Budd Chiari, Cirrhosis w/ increased hydrostatic pressure, & CHF all will have the SAAG of 1.3 (B)

patient 1 and 2 have exudate=0.8 patient 3,4,5 have transudate=1.3 thats my understanding medicosis 🙏

[@jcleach2764]

This concept always boggled my mind until you put it into terms of exudate and transudate. Not sure why I was overcomplicating it! Thank you!!!

Hi! This video may be two years old, but it is incredible and so helpful. Thank you so much for breaking it down into simple physiology then building up to the concept at hand. The conceptual relationship to Light's criteria was especially helpful. I was also dying of laughter throughout. Hahaha Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make this content.

What is a 'Shunt' and how and why is it used ?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

It depends on the type of shunt (bypass).

[@jackiereynolds2888]

@@MedicosisPerfectionalis I heard reference to it as it passed in impatient conversation. I was very much hoping that 'it' was a 'solution' to a condition of acities, - one which demands attention now, - almost every-other day. It's my wife, and I grow more worried and anxious with each passing day. Question: would a 'shunt' at least help with this ever- growing accumulation of fluid in her abdomen ?

can i have the notes in this video pls

[@方紹祺]

Hi! I got a quesiton here. Why is that decreasing oncotic pressure (probably transudate) belongs to the category of SAAG

[@stephanieokaka2442]

Well, I believe if I was following right, its because the decreased oncotic pressure (like in nephrotic syndrome) has to do with loss of proteins from the plasma and so the serum albumin on its own is already low, in a nutshell you are trying to measure what's not even there 🤷🏾‍♀.

[@hajir.h.30]

I don’t understand one think why nephrotic syndrome is exudate ? I read it in Davidson 22th edition that nephrotic syndrome is transudate ascites while in 23rd edition Of the same book that NS is exudate?

[@anisahmohamed978]

bcs of losig the protein (albumin) in the urine so its exudate

[@ojll99]

what about ascites total protein? why budd chiary is in high total protein ascites?

[@HuongNguyen-ou5pg]

i wanna ask you, in nephrotic albumin is low like cirrhosis but why saag in nephrotic is low?

[@manar6501]

you are the beeeeessstttttt !!!!!!

[@complex5813]

Why does oncotic pressure decreases in hypoprotinemia?? Somebody pls explain

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Because the oncotic pressure is caused mainly by the albumin protein (because albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, and osmosis is a colligative property that depends on the number of particles).

What if i have a SAAG of 0.8 which favours exudate or transudate of a low oncotic pressure orgin but the fluid albumin /serum albumin is 0.75 which suggests an exudate what is the discriminant indicator in this case
