Anasarca
There may also be other types of edema occurring simultaneously like ascites, which is fluid accumulation within the abdominal cavity (swollen stomach).[healthhype.com]
The examiner tests for pitting edema of the abdominal wall.[healthfixit.com]
[…] enough to cause Anasarca are : Increased hydrostatic pressure The blood lies in blood vessel which is like a pipe which allows fluid and some substances to pass through its walls[howshealth.com]

Ascites
The condition may be accompanied by general abdominal swelling, hemodilution, edema, or a decrease in urinary output.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Paracentesis is a sterile procedure whereby a needle is placed through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and fluid is removed.[emedicinehealth.com]
Pancreatic ascites develops when a cyst that has thick, fibrous walls (pseudocyst) bursts and permits pancreatic juices to enter the abdominal cavity.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Heart Failure
Vasodilator — Any drug that relaxes blood vessel walls.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Swelling may be so severe as to reach up to the hips, scrotum, abdominal wall, and eventually, the abdominal cavity (ascites).[emedicinehealth.com]
In progressively severe cases, ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity causing swelling) and liver enlargement may develop.[en.wikipedia.org]

Nephrotic Syndrome
Symptoms include vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Anorexia, abdominal pain and diarrhea may be seen, possibly secondary to the formation of ascites.[hawaii.edu]
Pathogenesis of edema There are two current hypotheses for the formation of edema in nephrotic syndrome.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Malignant Ascites
Notes: Injury: bowel, intra-abdominal, or abdominal wall vessels injury; G1–3: grading of AEs according to CTCAE (catheter-related infection); G2: localized; local intervention[dovepress.com]
Notes: Technical success: successful catheter placement; injury: bowel, intra-abdominal, or abdominal wall vessels injury; G1–3: grading of AEs according to CTCAE (catheter-related[dovepress.com]
In the first case, evacuation of the ascitic fluid can be performed by percutaneous catheters inserted directly through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity (eg,[dovepress.com]

Inferior Vena Cava Syndrome
To eliminate edema, should be low-salt diet, and take diuretic drugs.[healthfrom.com]
In addition, if the thrombus is confined to the cava and does not involve the iliac or femoral system, the collateral pathways form along the posterior abdominal wall.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Cerebral Edema
Periorbital edema is assessed; abdominal girth and ankle circumference are measured; and the patient's weight and fluid intake and output are monitored.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
[…] if hydrostatic pressures within blood vessels exceed the strength of the normal alveolar capillary wall (cardiogenic pulmonary edema).[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
The most common type is vasogenic edema, which may result from increased capillary pressure or from increased capillary permeability caused by trauma to the capillary walls[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
