Edema: Causes, Pathophysiology and Treatment
Öz
Edema is a nonspecific finding common to a host of diseases. It is defined as a palpable swelling produced by expansion of the interstitial fluid volume. Edema can be a sign of benign or potentially life threatening disease. Systematic approach to the patient with edema allows for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Here, we review the pathophysiology, causes, clinical approach and treatment strategies.
