Feedback
1. The ascites comes from the lymphatic system malfunctioning, so the fluid builds up in the body.
2. The kidneys will continue to function, but they are unable to pull out enough fluid.
3. When the lymphatic system malfunctions, it causes the fluid to fill in the body, create the ascites.
4. The fluid is within the lymphatic system and is retained in ascites, so the urine output will be lower.
