This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent.  Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs.  This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box is welcome. Case presentation: A 60 yr old female who works in heritage was apparently asymptomatic 15 days back then she developed fever which was high grade, intermittent.

Biweekly monthly assessment

case I: 1) What is the reason for this patient's ascites? Ans: excessive chronic alcohol use can cause - chronic liver disease alcoholic hepatitis  alcoholic cirrhosis In cirrhosis increase in portal hypertension causes sphlancnic vasodilation results in increase portal venous flow... Both these cause increased production of splanchnic lymph.. These changes result in sodium retention by causing activation of RAAS pathway with increase in aldosterone..  Sodium retention causes fluid accumulation and expansion of ecf results in edema and ascites..  2) Why did the patient develop bipedal lymphedema? What was the reason for the recurrent blebs and ulcerations and cellulitis in his lower limbs?   Ans: Bilateral pedal oedema which is of pitting type is due to decrease in the albumin level trends due to course of the disease and long standing cirrhosis causing decrease in the production of proteins causing decrease in the oncotic pressure leading to accumulation of fluid. as per the given
