EDEMA

Pitting edema is what type of Edema?

Transudate

Which type of edema is protein poor?

Transudate (less than 3g/dL)

3 types of Edema?

Transudate, Exsudate, Lymphedema

What is a type of nonpitting edema in which the skin thickens and hardens, brawny colored

brawny edema

What type of edema is commonly seen in glomerulonephritis, and congestive heart failure?

generalized edema

What is lymphedema due to?

Obstruction of lymphatics with egress of lymphatic fluid

What is the definition of generalized edema?

Occurrence of edema all over the body, but particularly over lower half of the legs

What is primarily due to the body's retention of too much salt?

Pitting edema

What is the cause of transudate edema?

Poor protein (less than 3g/dL)

Post radical mastectomy is an example of?

Lymphedema

What is generalized edema aka?

anasarca

where does dependent edema usually occur?

ankles and feet

What is dependent edema?

A detectable tissue swelling localized in a dependent area such as the ankles and feet because of gravity

Definition of pitting edema?

Correlates with an increase in total body Na+ (TBNa+)

What effect does decrease in TBNa+ have on intersitital space?

Decreased fluid in interstitial fluid space, decreased skin turgot

Inflammation occurs in what type of edema?

Exsudate

Peritonisis is an example of what?

Exsudate

WHich type of edema has inflammation

Exsudate

Which type of edema is protein rich?

Exsudate (more than 3g/dL)

What happens to hydrostatic pressure in Transudate edema?

Increased

What effect does increase in TBNa+ have on interstitial space?

Increased fluid in interstitial space, pitting edema

What are some causes of Edema?

Increased hydrostatic pressure, Increased capillary permeability, decreased oncotic pressure, increased Na retention

What happens to hydrostatic pressure in exsudate and oncotic presssure in exsudate?

Increased hydrostatic pressure, decreased oncotic pressure (hypoalbuminemia) by inflammation

What is the definition for exsudate edema?

Increased vessel permeability in acute inflammation

What happens in localized edema?

Local tissue swelling

Most common causes of transudate edema?

Pulmonary embolism, left/right heart failure

What occurs in exsudate edema to tissue?

Swelling (inflammation) but no pitting edema

What is the definition of Edema?

Swelling caused by excess fluid in interstitial space of ECF

What type of edema is commonly seen in allergic or inflammatory reactions?

localized

Where does generalized edema usually occur?

lower half of legs

True or False: Lymphedema is initially pitting edema but eventually turns to non pitting edema
