Generalized edema may be related to kidney disease, heart disease, liver disease, malnutrition and other factors, patients need to go to the local hospital as soon as possible, to clarify the cause of the disease, early treatment, to prevent delayed condition.
1. Kidney disease: Patients suffering from nephritis or nephrotic syndrome may affect the metabolism of the kidneys, resulting in sodium retention and generalized edema.
2. Heart disease: patients suffering from heart failure, coronary artery disease, tachycardia and other heart diseases may have increased pressure in the venous system due to ejection dysfunction, and the patients may show symmetrical edema.
3. Liver disease: patients with liver disease such as cirrhosis may have a decrease in plasma protein synthesis, resulting in hypoproteinemia, which may also lead to generalized edema.
4. Malnutrition: when the patient is in the state of malnutrition, the protein intake is insufficient, and the colloid osmotic pressure of the body is lowered, which will also be manifested as generalized edema.
It is recommended that the patient consult the doctor as soon as possible, actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, and pay attention to a balanced diet.
