Peripheral edema can poses a diagnostic dilemma to family physicians due to a wide range of underlying diseases. As discussed above in detail, the causes of edema may be due to a myriad of diagnoses, including heart, liver, renal, thyroid, and other vascular etiologies.
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).
Leg swelling related to fluid buildup Leg swelling caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues is known as peripheral edema. It can be caused by a problem with the venous circulation system, the lymphatic system or the kidneys.
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.

Pitting edema is when a swollen part of your body has a dimple (or pit) after you press it for a few seconds. It can be a sign of a serious health issue.
Burns and sunburn: The skin reacts to burns by retaining fluid. This causes localized swelling. Infection or inflammation: Any tissue that is infected or inflamed can become swollen. This is usually most noticeable in the skin.
Clinical Information. (eh-dee-ma) swelling caused by excess fluid in body tissues. Abnormal fluid accumulation in tissues or body cavities. Most cases of edema are present under the skin in subcutaneous tissue. Accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells or intercellular tissues.
Accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells or intercellular tissues. Edema means swelling caused by fluid in your body's tissues. It usually occurs in the feet, ankles and legs, but it can involve your entire body. Causes of edema include.

A disorder characterized by swelling due to excessive fluid accumulation at a specific anatomic site.
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.
