Neoplasia
edema Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues.
Obstruction of lymphatic circulation a swollen arm following mastectomy
Loss of plasma proteins due to decreased production of the abdominal swelling that accompanies
liver failure plasma proteins
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and increased the swelling that accompanies
inflammation capillary permeability
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to the generalized edema that occurs in
severe kidney disease increased blood volume; possibly caused by/due to
decreased capillary osmotic pressure due to
protein- wasting kidney disease
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to swelling of the ankles that often happens at the end of the
day or after prolonged the effects of gravity standing
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and increased swelling that occurs following multiple tooth
extractions capillary permeability caused by/due to inflammation
obstruction of lymphatic circulation or increased capillary edema that may accompany
cancer hydrostatic pressure if blood vessels are compressed
increased capillary permeability and loss of plasma edema that accompanies
burns proteins
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to edematous hands and ankles that sometimes accompany
excessive ingestion of increased water retention sodium
loss of plasma proteins caused by/due to decreased the abdominal swelling that occurs with
starvation synthesis of plasma proteins
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure swelling of the ankles associated with heart problems
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and increased swelling associated with allergic reactions, such
as hives capillary permeability caused by/due to inflammation
