Edema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial spaces or body cavities caused by increased hydrostatic pressure, reduced plasma oncotic pressure, inflammation, lymphatic obstruction, or sodium and water retention. It can be generalized or localized and classified as pitting or non-pitting edema based on physical examination. The signs and symptoms of edema include swelling, weight gain, distended veins, crackles, and decreased urine output.
