Edema
- Mechanism
- Increased hydrostatic pressure
- Reduced plasma osmotic pressure
- Sodium retention, low albumin
- Increased vascular premeability
- Lymphathic or venous obstruction
- Edema
- Localized
- Trauma
- Acute
inflammation
- Venous obstruction
- Lymphatic obstruction
- Systemic
- Dependent areas
(back, ankles)
- Ascites
- Pleural effusion
- Pericardial effusion
- Transudate
- Low protein content
(non-inflammatory disorders)
- Exudate
- High protein content
(inflammation)
- Localised edema
- Increased vascular
permeability
- Venous or lymphatic obstruction
- Clinical examples
- Acute
inflammation
- Trauma (limbs/soft tissue)
- Lymphoedema
- Cerebral edema
- Trauma
- Brain adjacent to tumors
- Systemic edema
- Increased
hydrostatic pressure
- Heart failure
- Pulmonary edema
- Dependent edema
- Decreased osmotic
pressure
- Low albumin
- Sodium retention
