Oedema can be classified as venous oedema and lymphoedema. Lymphoedema of the lower extremities is usually bilateral. Unilateral leg lymphoedema may occur secondary to radiation, surgery, compression by a tumour or early filariasis infection.
ICD-10-CM Code for Fluid overload, unspecified E87. 70.
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.
ICD-10-CM Code for Edema, unspecified R60. 9.
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).
Pedal edema causes an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the ankles, feet, and lower legs causing swelling of the feet and ankles. Two mechanisms can cause edema of the feet. Venous edema occurs due to increased capillary leakage that causes fluid to leak into the interstitial space from the venous system.
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.
Distribution of edema: unilateral leg edema is generally due to a local cause such as deep vein thrombosis, venous insufficiency, or lymphedema. Bilateral edema can be due to a local cause or systemic disease, such as heart failure or kidney disease. Generalized edema is due to systemic disease.
Bilateral oedema is often caused by heart failure, deep vein insufficiency or prolonged standing. Leg oedema of cardiac origin is always accompanied by other symptoms or findings of heart failure «Chronic heart failure»11. Venous leg oedema may be associated with stasis dermatitis or varicose veins.
