| ==Overview== | | ==[[Pedal edema pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]== |
| Competent venous valves, intermittent leg muscle contraction and respiration is required to support normal venous blood return. When these fail, [[venous insufficiency]] and edema occur. Edema can occur in 2 forms: pitting and non-pitting. Pitting occurs when there is fluid movement when pressure is applied. Non-pitting is swelling of the tissue itself, not an excess of fluid surrounding the tissue. [[Edema]] is caused by an accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in the serous cavities, tissues or cells causing painless, non-reddened swelling

| == Diagnosis ==
| |
| | |
| === History and Symptoms ===
| |
| | |
| *History should include:
| |
| :*[[DVT]] risk factors
| |
| :*time lapse
| |
| :*other associated symptoms
| |
| :*unilateral vs. bilateral
| |
| :*pitting and/or non-pitting
| |

| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| === Laboratory Findings ===
| |
| *Labs include:
| |
| :*[[Blood cultures]]
| |
| :*[[BUN]] / [[creatinine]]
| |
| :*[[CBC]]
| |
| :*[[Coagulation]]
| |
| :*[[Electrolytes]]
| |
| :*[[LFT]]s
| |
| :*[[Serum albumin]]
| |
| :*[[Thyroid function tests]]
| |
| :*[[Urinalysis]]
| |
| | |
| === Chest X Ray ===
| |
| *[[Chest X-Ray]] may indicate [[pulmonary edema]] and/or [[cardiomegaly]]
| |
| | |
| === Echocardiography or Ultrasound ===
| |
| *[[Duplex ultrasound]] for [[DVT]]
| |
| *[[Echocardiography]] for EF in patients with [[CHF]]
| |
| | |
| === Other Diagnostic Studies ===
| |
| *[[liver biopsy]] for [[cirrhosis]]
| |
| | |
| == Treatment ==
| |
| | |
| === Acute Pharmacotherapies ===
| |
| *[[Congestive heart failure]]: [[Diuretics]], [[ACE inhibitor]]s, [[beta blocker]]s, [[digoxin]]
| |
| | |
| === Chronic Pharmacotherapies ===
| |
| *[[DVT]]: [[Anticoagulation]] with [[unfractionated heparin]], [[low molecular weight heparin]] / [[warfarin]] for 3-6 months
| |
| | |
| === Indications for Surgery ===
| |
| *[[Nephrotic syndrome]]: transplant in adult patients may be necessary
| |
| *[[Cirrhosis]]: liver transplant may be necessary
| |
| | |
| === Additional therapies ===
| |
| *Venous insufficiency: Leg elevation, compression stockings, minimize time standing
| |
| *[[Cellulitis]]: extremity elevation
| |
| *[[CHF]]: Salt restrictions
| |
| *[[Cirrhosis]]: [[Diuretic]]s & low salt diet
| |
| | |
| ==Prognosis==
| |
| Successful treatment depends on control of the underlying cause. Severe swelling can cause permanent damage to nerves, resulting in [[peripheral neuropathy]]. Many cases from temporary or minor causes resolve on their own, with no lasting damage.
