Helpful Apps!

Although there are no apps that I was able to find that directly have to do with ascites, I was able to find one that is very helpful for healthcare professionals that are working with people who have had liver problems which sometimes lead to ascites.  It is called HepCalc and is an app that is made for apple devises such as iPhones.  It has a collection of calculators that have to do with the liver and you can put in information that you may have about yourself or your patients' liver.  There are alcohol hepatitis calculators, fibrosis calculators, portopulmonary hypertension calculators, and more.  If you have liver disease and are struggling with it and side effects such as ascites, I would recommend this app.  You can find it in the iTunes store and is by Gary Poleynard MD.
