Calcium keeps the retention of water in check, stave off osteoporosis and promotes healthy bones, magnesium combats fatigue and fights stress, sodium manages the
lymphatic fluid in the body, bromide soothes sore, tired muscles and potassium helps to balance the level of moisture in the skin.
Chylous ascites is an abnormal accumulation and collection of lipid-rich
lymphatic fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
The underlying etiology may be either related to overproduction of the
lymphatic fluid or to the blockade of distal lymphatic flow.
Lymphatic cyst is a collection of
lymphatic fluid with an epithelial lining which can either represent lymphatic malformations or may occur after trauma or operation [1].
We also included the submandibular lymph glands, in order to provoke the
lymphatic fluid to drain its viscous content into the venous system of the neck.
Lymphatic fluid pumped through internal channels causes their large sickle-shaped fins subtly to change shape, aiding manoeuvrability at high speed.
Chyle is composed of
lymphatic fluid and chylomicrons from the gastrointestinal system.
Further, S1P secreted to the extracellular spaces, including the interstitial fluid and
lymphatic fluid, has been suggested to be important for metastasis by stimulating S1P signaling [30, 57].
(1,2,8) During the surgical process, increased
lymphatic fluid coagulation may result in lymphatic thrombosis, which will lead to an accumulation in the lymphatic vessels, forming visible cords.
Pathologically, lymphangiomas are cysts or pockets of
lymphatic fluid collection, which consist of multiple cysts connected to each other by small lymphatic channels.
[1] A leakage of
lymphatic fluid from the thoracic duct or its tributaries is responsible for the presence of chyle in the pleural cavity.
