| Edema description |
|---|
| Edema, also spelled oedema or dema, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body, which can cause severe pain. Clinically, edema manifests as swelling. The amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis; and the increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium. The word is from Greek oídma meaning "swelling". The condition is also known (mostly archaic) as dropsy.* |
