What are the causes of edema?

Causes of body fluid imbalance: plasma colloid osmotic pressure decreased; The hydrostatic pressure in the capillary increases; The permeability of capillary wall increased; Lymphatic reflux is blocked.

1. Plasma colloid osmotic pressure is decreased.

It can be found in malabsorption or malnutrition in protein and kidney diseases with massive proteinuria. When the amount of plasma albumin drops to 25g/L or the total protein drops to 50g/L, edema can occur, which is systemic.

2. The hydrostatic pressure in the capillary increases.

It can be seen in venous obstruction or venous reflux disorder caused by various reasons. Local venous reflux obstruction causes tissue edema or hydrops in corresponding parts, such as gastrointestinal wall edema and ascites caused by cirrhosis, and vena cava reflux obstruction in heart failure causes systemic edema.

3. The permeability of capillary wall is increased.

Vasoactive substances (histamine, kinin), bacterial toxins and hypoxia can increase the permeability of capillary wall and cause edema. The edema of inflammatory lesions is mainly due to the increase of capillary wall permeability, and angioneurotic edema and edema caused by allergic reaction also belong to this mechanism. This edema usually occurs in the damaged part of the blood vessel wall.

4. Lymphatic reflux is blocked

After radical mastectomy, the local lymphatic circulation is destroyed after axillary lymph node resection, and edema of the affected upper limb may occur. In filariasis, edema of lower limbs and scrotum often occurs because lymphatic vessels are blocked by worms. In addition, embolization of cancer cells with extensive lymphatic vessels can cause local edema.
