Q

Edema versus lymphedema

A

Edema is an accumulation of water in the tissue. Edema is a symptom. Dynamic insufficiency of the lymphatic system

Lymphedema is abnormal accumulation of water and protein. It is a disease process. Mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system

A

no

47
Q

Dynamic insufficiency

A
– Healthy LS
- TC is normal
– LL load of water is higher than normal TC
– Protein concentration in tissue is normal
– High volume insufficiency
- MLD/CDT not indicated
- Max LTV equals TC
- Edema
48
Q

Mechanical insufficiency

A
– Unhealthy LS
– TC is subnormal
– LL could be normal but higher than subnormal TC
– Protein concentration in tissue is higher than normal
– low volume insufficiency
– MLD/CDT indicated
- max LTV = TC subnormal
- lymphedema
49
Q

Combined insufficiency
