Ascites in liver cirrhosis: exploring the accumulation of fluid in 3D
Ascites is a common and challenging complication of liver cirrhosis, where fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity due to the liver's impaired function. But what exactly causes this buildup of fluid? When the liver’s ability to regulate blood flow is compromised, it leads to high blood pressure in the portal vein and low albumin levels, which contributes to the fluid leakage into the abdominal space. With VOKA Anatomy Pro’s hyperrealistic 3D models, students and healthcare professionals can visualize how ascites develops within the body. #LiverHealth #Ascites #Cirrhosis #LiverDisease #Gastroenterology #3DAnatomy #VOKAAnatomyPro #HealthEducation #MedicalStudents #HumanBody #Anatomy #LearnAnatomy #LiverFacts
