Ebola first appeared in 1976 in a simultaneous outbreak in the areas that are now Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).ive virus species have been identified, four of which are known to cause disease in humans: Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus); Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus); Tai TaÃ¯ forest (Virus Tai taÃ¯, forest Ebolavirus formerlyâCote cÃ´te); d Ivoire ebolavirus (And bundibugyo). virus bundibugyo ebolavirus
Fluid retention around the ankles often involves the rest of the body, too. A blood clot in the veins may cause pooling of fluid in the lower limbs, while swelling of the ankles may be accompanied by difficulty in breathing and the inability to lie flat on the bed in heart failure.
Poor processing functions of the liver results in poor protein albumin synthesis. Protein albumin helps to hold fluid in the bloodstream thus when it is too low, swelling in the ankles and abdominal fluid retention starts to occur. Cirrhosis of the liver is the main cause of fluid retention in patients with chronic liver disease. It is a condition where the liver is permanently injured and scarred because of chronic disease. The scars obstruct the flow of the blood through the liver causing the liver loses its normal function.
