Edema, or swelling, occurs when excess fluid collects in your body's tissues. Dependent edema is specific to parts of the body that that are influenced by gravity, such as your legs, feet, or arms. Edema may be a side effect of medications for conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Edema is swelling of soft tissues due to increased interstitial fluid. The fluid is predominantly water, but protein and cell-rich fluid can accumulate if there is infection or lymphatic obstruction. Edema may be generalized or local (eg, limited to a single extremity or part of an extremity).
ICD-10 code: R22. 2 Localized swelling, mass and lump, trunk.
Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
41 Localized swelling, mass and lump, right lower limb.
Overview. Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, you may notice it more in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.
Definition: A disorder characterized by swelling due to excessive fluid accumulation at a specific anatomic site.
The differential diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity edema includes venous thrombosis, heart failure, liver failure, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroid myxedema, and venous insufficiency. The progressive swelling of lymphedema is often soft with pitting at onset and then advances to the classic firm, nonpitting edema.

Signs that you might have edema include the following: The affected area is swollen. The skin over the swollen area might look stretched and shiny. Pushing in gently on the swollen area with your finger for at least 5 seconds and then removing your finger will leave a dimple in the skin.
Your doctor will ask you questions, conduct a full exam, and might order tests to determine why you have edema.
Some drugs, such as medications that you are taking for your blood pressure or to control pain, may cause or worsen edema. An allergic reaction, severe inflammation, burns, trauma, clot (s), or poor nutrition can also cause edema. Too much salt from your diet can make edema worse.
Edema can be temporary or permanent, depending on its cause. Edema is treated according to the condition that is causing it. For example: If edema is caused by lung disease, such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, quitting smoking would be advised if the patient smokes.

R60.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of localized edema. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Peripheral edema is edema (accumulation of fluid causing swelling) in tissues perfused by the peripheral vascular system, usually in the lower limbs. In the most dependent parts of the body (those hanging distally), it may be called dependent edema.
