#169, is the cause of death Wassersucht? If so, any ideas what would cause that in a year old little girl?

Yes, Wassersucht is the cause of death.

The age of the deceased is: 10 J[ahre], 4 M[onate], 24 T[age] - say 10 years plus


Wassersucht = Dropsy
Dropsy describes an increased accumulation of water in the body.
A possible cause is the reduced excretion via the kidneys (renal insufficiency). The more common cause, however, is heart failure (cardiac insufficiency).

Thank you, first time seeing this in such a young child. Usually an elderly person.
