Edema Management

Edema Management

Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in our body’s tissues. Although edema can affect any part of our body, you may notice it more in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.

Edema can be a result of medication, pregnancy or an underlying disease — often congestive heart failure, kidney disease or cirrhosis of the liver. Taking medication to remove excess fluid and reducing the amount of salt in your food often relieves edema. When edema is a sign of an underlying disease, the disease itself requires separate treatment.

Signs & Symptoms of Edema
• Swelling of the tissue directly under your skin, especially in your legs or arms.
• Stretched or shiny skin.
• Skin that retains a dimple (pits), after being pressed for several seconds.
• Increased abdominal size.
See your doctor immediately if you experience – shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and/or chest pains. As these can be signs of pulmonary edema, which requires prompt treatment. If you’ve been sitting for a prolonged period, such as on a long flight, and you develop leg pain and swelling that won’t go away, call your doctor. Persistent leg pain and swelling can indicate a blood clot deep in your vein (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).

Causes
Edema occurs when tiny blood vessels in our body (capillaries) leak fluid. The fluid builds up in surrounding tissues, leading to swelling from you:
• Sitting or staying in one position for too long.
• Eating too much salty food.
• Having premenstrual signs and symptoms.
• Being pregnant.

Edema can be a side effect of some medications, like high blood pressure medications, steroid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, estrogens, and certain diabetes medications like the thiazolidinediones. However, edema may be a sign of a more serious underlying medical conditions. Several health conditions may cause edema, such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disease, weakness or damage to the veins in our legs, sudden swelling in one leg accompanied by pain in our calf muscle can be due to a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) in one of our leg veins.

If the lymphatic system that clears excess fluid from our tissues gets damaged — the lymph nodes and lymph vessels may not work correctly, and edema can occur. Severe, long-term protein deficiency can lead to fluid accumulation and edema. Another risk factor is if you are pregnant, your body retains more sodium and water than usual due to the fluid needed by the feotus and placenta. This can increase your risk of developing edema.

Complications of edema if left untreated, can cause – an increasingly painful swelling, difficulty walking, stiffness, stretched skin, which can become itchy and uncomfortable, increased risk of infection in the swollen area, scarring between layers of tissue, decreased blood circulation, decreased elasticity of arteries, veins, joints and muscles, increased risk of skin ulcers.
