Overview

Pedal edema can be either pitting or non pitting. Peripheral pitting edema in which an indentation remains after pressure is released, is the more common type of peripheral edema, and results from water retention. It can be caused by systemic diseases, pregnancy in some women, heart failure, or local conditions such as varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, insect bites, and dermatitis. Non-pitting edema is observed when the indentation does not persist. It is associated with lymphedema, lipedema and myxedema. Edema caused by malnutrition defines kwashiorkor, an acute form of childhood protein-energy malnutrition characterized by edema, irritability, anorexia, ulcerating dermatoses, and an enlarged liver with fatty infiltrates.
