==Overview==
[[Edema]] is an abnormal collection of fluid in interstitial space because of an imbalance in [[hydrostatic pressure]], [[oncotic pressure]], increased [[capillary permeability]], and obstruction in [[lymphatic drainage]].
[[Edema]] is an abnormal collection of fluid in interstitial space because of increased [[hydrostatic pressure]], decreased [[oncotic pressure]], increased [[capillary permeability]], and obstruction in [[lymphatic drainage]]. [[Edema]] may be  due to underlying systemic diseases such as [[nephrotic syndrome]], [[ right sided heart failure]], [[hypothyroidism]], [[hyperthyroidism]], side effect of some drugs, complications of recent [[surgery]] and [[malignancy]]. [[Edema]] may be generalized due to [[cardiac]], [[thyroid]], [[kidney]] diseases or localized due to [[cellulitis]], [[deep vein thrombosis]] ([[DVT]]), [[chronic venous insufficiency]] and [[lymphedema]]. Diagnosis is based on taking history of recent [[surgery]], [[trauma]], [[systemic illness]], [[malignancy]] and  doing physical examination about the distribution of [[edema]] and determination of [[pitting]] or [[non pitting edema]], inducing  [[pain]] on palpation. [[Duplex sonography]] is helpful for finding the evidence of [[DVT]]. For more investigation about localized [[edema]] with unknown etiology, [[abdominal computer tomography]], [[magnetic resonance venography]] maybe required.

Synonyms and keywords: Generalized edema, localized edema, unilateral edema, bilateral edema

Overview

Edema is an abnormal collection of fluid in interstitial space because of increased hydrostatic pressure, decreased oncotic pressure, increased capillary permeability, and obstruction in lymphatic drainage. Edema may be due to underlying systemic diseases such as nephrotic syndrome, right sided heart failure, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, side effect of some drugs, complications of recent surgery and malignancy. Edema may be generalized due to cardiac, thyroid, kidney diseases or localized due to cellulitis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Diagnosis is based on taking history of recent surgery, trauma, systemic illness, malignancy and doing physical examination about the distribution of edema and determination of pitting or non pitting edema, inducing pain on palpation. Duplex sonography is helpful for finding the evidence of DVT. For more investigation about localized edema with unknown etiology, abdominal computer tomography, magnetic resonance venography maybe required.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes of peripheral edema

Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Diagnostic tools:

❑ Abdominal or pelvic CT scan in patients with lower limb swelling and evidence of malygnancy
❑ Magnetic resonance venography of the lower leg in patients with unilateral leg swelling without evidence of thrombosis on duplex ultrasonography if there is high clinical suspicion for deep venous thrombosis
❑ Echocardiography in patients with obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and edema for evaluation of pulmonary arterial pressures and also in patients with evidence of heart failure for assessment of ejection fraction and pulmonary artery pressure and structural heart disease.
❑ Ankle-brachial index in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and cardiovascular risk factors before compression therapy in suspicion of peripheral arterial disease
❑ Lymphoscintigraphy and magnetic resonance lymphangiography in patients with lymphedema
