A hallmark symptom of abdominal compartment syndrome is a distended abdomen. This condition results from increased intra-abdominal pressure, which leads to decreased blood flow to the abdominal organs and causes them to swell. While symptoms like nausea and vomiting, lower back pain, and increased urination can be present in many different conditions, a distended abdomen is more specific to abdominal compartment syndrome.
