1. Heart failure: Anasarca can occur as a result of heart failure, which leads to a buildup of fluid in the body due to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively.
2. Kidney disease: Anasarca can also be caused by kidney disease, which impairs the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the body, leading to fluid retention.
3. Liver disease: Liver disease can cause anasarca by disrupting the liver's ability to produce proteins that help regulate fluid balance in the body.
4. Malnutrition: Severe malnutrition can lead to anasarca due to a lack of protein and other nutrients needed for maintaining proper fluid balance in the body.
5. Infections: Certain infections, such as sepsis, can cause anasarca by triggering an inflammatory response that leads to fluid leakage from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.
6. Medications: Some medications, such as corticosteroids or certain blood pressure medications, can cause fluid retention and lead to anasarca as a side effect.
7. Lymphatic system disorders: Disorders affecting the lymphatic system, such as lymphedema or lymphangitis, can cause anasarca by impairing the drainage of fluid from tissues.
8. Allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, can cause anasarca by triggering widespread inflammation and fluid leakage from blood vessels.
