Q

What causes tissue edema?

A

If there is an increase in hydrostatic pressure or diminished plasma osmotic pressure will cause extravascular fluid to accumulate. Tissue lymphatics will remove the excess volume, eventually returning it to the circulation via the thoracic duct. However, if the capacity for lymphatic drainage is exceeded then tissue edema results.
