venous stasis edema..please see message - mt12
Posted: Jan 10, 2012
The doc consistently says venous stasis edema. However, when I look it up, I find that they are two different things, i.e. venous stasis AND edema. Which is correct? TIA
here is a definition for you - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Venous stasis, or venostasis, is a condition of slow blood flow in the veins, usually of the legs. A patient with venous stasis might be more vulnerable to the formation of blood clot, especially in the deep veins of the legs, called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).[1]
Edema (American English) or oedema (British English); both words from the Greek οἴδημα - oÃÂdÄ“ma, "swelling"[1]), formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body that produces swelling. Generally, the amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis, and increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may cause edema.[citatio
Thanks..... - mt12

[ In Reply To ..]When patients develop edema, they want to determine the etiology. Generally speaking, lower extremity edema is caused by either heart failure or venous insufficiency.
