Treatment
Anasarca is a severe symptom, not a pathological process in and of itself; as such, the best treatment is to treat the underlying cause. However, there are a number of things that can be done to help get the fluid off as well as prevent further accumulation of fluid. Diuretics
One of the mainstays of any edema treatment, diuretics are a category of medications that help the body excrete fluid by altering the way in which the kidney processes urine. Loop diuretics
Thiazide diuretics
Thiazide-like diuretics
Potassium-sparing diuretics

Diet
The body more efficiently absorbs fluid from the gut and retains that fluid with the help of sodium and sugar. As such, decreasing salt and simple sugar intake will help prevent accumulation of fluid and potentiate the effect of any diuretics. Following a high protein diet will help provide ones body with the substrates necessary to produce albumin, the major protein in human plasma and the single most important molecule in maintaining the serum oncotic pressure. Fiber
Bulking fiber, both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, absorb water throughout the GI tract. Viscous fiber can thicken the contents of the GI track and slow the absorption of other compounds (like simple sugars). References
