What is the pathophysiological process of edema? correct answers Fluid excess occurs in the
extracellular compartment and may be referred to as isotonic/iso-osmolar, hypotonic/hypo-
osmolar, or hypertonic/hyper-osmolar, depending on the cause. The osmolarity or the
concentration of solute in the fluid affects fluid shifts between compartments, including the cells.
Edema refers to an excessive amount of fluid in the interstitial compartment, which causes a
swelling or enlargement of the tissues. Edema may be localized in one area or generalized
throughout the body. Depending on the type of tissue and the area of the body, edema may be
highly visible or relatively invisible, or it may not accurately reflect the amount of fluid hidden
in the area; for example, facial edema is usually visible but edema of the liver or a limb may not
be. Edema is usually more severe in dependent areas of the body, where the force of gravity is
greatest, such as the buttocks, ankles, or feet of a person in a wheelchair. Prolonged edema
interferes with venous return, arterial circulation, and cell function in the affected area. (Hubert,
122017, pp. 16-18)
Causes of edema. A, Normal capillary filtration without edema. B, Edema due to increased
capillary hydrostatic pressure. C, Edema due to increased interstitial fluid osmotic pressure from
increased capillary permeability. D, Edema due to blocked lymphatic drainage. E, Edema due to
decreased capillary osmotic pressure from hypoalbuminemia (Hubert, 122017, p. 18)
