Question:

What are the causes for Dynamic Edema?

Author: Alexandra Jessie Wilson



Answer:

Starvation/Hunger: the body receives insufficient dietary protein or a protein losing intestinal disease (enteropathy) is present ((not enough protein)) Renal (kidney) Edema: the body excretes increased amounts of protein through the kidneys (proteinuria) causing a reduction of protein in the plasma. ((Kidnneys over processing protein)) Cardiac edema: occurs when the heart's diseased or overworked left ventricle (heart's lower chamber) isn't able to pump out enough of the blood it receives from your lungs. This causes the heart to hold an excess amount of fluid; therefore, swelling. ((Overworked left ventricle)) Oversimplified reason: excessively low protein
