A member asked:
Please tell me, could liver damage from overuse of alcohol cause water retention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Albumin: The liver produces Albumin, which is responsible for keeping the fluid in the blood supply and out of the extremities and abdomen. When there is enough liver damage, albumin production is decreased. Less albumin = more fluid everywhere else except the blood.
