AB  - Soft  tissue  swelling  due  to  abnormal  expansion  of  interstitial  fluid  volume.  Edema  fluid  is  a  plasma  transudate  that  accumulates  when  movement  of  fluid  from  vascular  to  interstitial  space  is  favored.  Because  detectable  generalized  edema  in  the  adult  reflects  a  gain  of  ≥3  L,  renal  retention  of  salt  and  water  is  necessary  for  edema  to  occur.  Distribution  of  edema  can  be  an  important  guide  to  cause.
