A 58-year-old man is referred with three weeks of progressive abdominal distension and bilateral ankle swelling. He has drunk around 60 units of alcohol per week for two decades. On examination he has spider naevi, palmar erythema and gynaecomastia, with shifting dullness on percussion. He is afebrile and reports no abdominal pain.
A diagnostic ascitic tap is performed, with a serum albumin taken the same day:
| Investigation | Result |
|---|---|
| Ascitic appearance | Clear, straw-coloured |
| Ascitic albumin | 8 g/L |
| Serum albumin (same day) | 30 g/L |
| Ascitic total protein | 14 g/L |
| Ascitic neutrophils | 90 cells/mm³ |
Which is the single most likely underlying cause of his ascites?
SAAG = serum albumin − ascitic albumin = 30 − 8 = 22 g/L. A high gradient (≥ 11 g/L) means portal hypertension; the stigmata of chronic liver disease point to cirrhosis.
The serum–ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) is the single most useful test for classifying ascites. Here SAAG = 30 − 8 = 22 g/L. A gradient of ≥ 11 g/L indicates portal hypertension, and the alcohol history plus spider naevi, palmar erythema and gynaecomastia make cirrhosis the cause. A low ascitic total protein (< 25 g/L) fits a transudative cirrhotic picture, and a neutrophil count < 250 cells/mm³ excludes infection.
See how Visual Cards work
One image, one exam pearl. Each card turns a high-yield topic into a picture your brain actually keeps — built for pattern recognition, not walls of text.
A whole topic on a single, memorable card
- Clinical images and diagrams instead of long paragraphs — so patterns stick.
- Each card ends with a one-line exam pearl.
- Grouped into specialty decks you can swipe through in minutes.
- Pinch-to-zoom for signs, films, rashes, ECGs and diagrams.
1,200+ visual cards across 17 specialties — and growing.
And Recall Cards to make it stick
Spaced-repetition flashcards straight from the bank — rate what you remember and the deck decides when you see it again.
Spaced repetition, built around the exam
- Rate each card: Forgot, Unsure, or Knew it — reschedules automatically.
- Forgot repeats after 5 cards; Unsure repeats after 10.
- Knew it banks the card as mastered.
- One-line question, one-line answer — ideal for daily reps.
- Every card includes a high-yield exam pearl.
3,000 recall cards across all 17 specialties.
