Anasarca (or "extreme generalized edema") is a medical symptom characterized by widespread swelling of the skin due to effusion of fluid into the extracellular space.

A good mnemonic for anasarka is: Anasarka is like a parka, all over.

It is usually caused by either congestive cardiac failure, liver failure (cirrhosis of the liver) or renal failure/disease.

It can also be created from the administration of exogenous intravenous fluid.

Certain plant-derived anticancer chemotherapeutic agents, such as docetaxel, cause anasarca through a poorly understood capillary leak syndrome.

This symptom is also called leucophlegmatia.
