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
true
