How to use "Edema" in context?
Edema is an inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes. The causes of edema can be manifold, including infection, neoplasia, and cancer. The most common form of edema, caused by decreased blood flow, is known as peripheral edema. Edema may occur in any part of the body, but is most commonly found on the feet and hands. Edema may also occur as a result of Lymphoma, and may be present in various stages, from mild swelling to life-threatening fluid overload. Treatment of edema typically depends on the underlying cause.
