for example, if the oedema is secondary to glomerulonephritis. treatment of Glomerulonephritis will be more useful.

Although oedema can be harmless, it is also a common symptom for the following medical conditions:

  • Filariasis: parasitic infection, caused by nematodes, block the lymphatic system and cause oedema.
  •  Glomerulonephritis: leads to abnormal retention of fluids by kidney
  •  High blood pressure: increased blood pressure causes leakage of fluid from the vessels into the intracellular spaces.
  • Heart disease: the inability of pumping blood efficaciously leads to pooling of blood in veins, which leads to leakage of blood from vessels and hence oedema.
  •  Kidney diseases: various pathological conditions of kidney leads to abnormal absorption of water and salts.
    Bloating
  •  Liver diseases, including cirrhosis of the liver:  lead to less plasma protein production by the liver, fewer plasma proteins will be available in the blood to hold water and water will leak out of the vessels.
  • Lymph-edema: blockage of lymphatic vessels will lead to oedema.
  • Nephrotic Syndrome: abnormal retention of water by the kidney
  • PMS symptoms such as bloating.: hormonal changes cause retention of water.
