Fantastic. You mentioned a list of high and low SAAG associated diseases.... which of these diseases could be affected by a big meal/ alcohol/ coffee, sugar etc?
Portal vein thrombosis, as a pre-sinusoidal cause of PH, doesn’t usualy course with ascites in the absence of other predisposing factor, like hypoalbuminemia. Great lecture, tho! Thanks from 🇧🇷
Thanks for giving such information on ascites. My uncle took treatment from the planet Ayurveda for 9 months. He is completely fine now. His liver is in fine condition.
Please any one invent one vaccine or one medicine for liver chirossis and ascites and make person's healthy. Now a days so many people are suffering from liver chirossis and ascitis
You can consult with Dr. Sumit Shankar, GACH,kadam kuan,Patna-03(Bihar,India). He has the parfect knowledge regarding these diseases.Many patients have get cured by his ayurvedic treatment...
Hi! Thanks for your question. So a low SAAG tells us that the concentration of albumin in the circulation (serum) isn't so different from the concentration in the ascitic fluid. In nephrotic syndrome, the concentration of albumin in the circulation is likely to be low (hypoalbuminemia). Therefore, the difference between their Serum and Ascitic Albumin concentrations is more likely to be less than 1.1g/dL. As an example, a normal serum albumin concentration is about 3-5g/dL, If our patient has 2g/dL of serum albumin and 1.5g/dL Ascitic albumin, then they'd have a SAAG of 0.5g/dL, which is of course under 1.1. Hope that helps! 🤗
Dear doctor, how we can stop ascites,after tips procedure and replacing a stine in the liver? We did the tips procedure and our patien still has ascites. Doctors tell us, it is due to lack of albumin. Will she be OK?
Such an informative video on ascites, thank you! I was dealing with fluid retention, and Planet Ayurveda's Punarnava capsules and Ascites Care Pack helped me so much. If anyone is facing this issue, I strongly suggest giving their herbal remedies a shot.
High SAAG means high serum levels COMPARED TO ascites. Cirrhotic liver means liver is failing and can't do its normal function properly, can't produce properly normal blood proteins such as albumin, fibrinogen, complement proteins....
