Edema Lymphangiectatic

Lymphatic edema - the mechanism of development of the disease In general, with lymphatic edema (lymphangiota), the contents of the soft tissues are characterized by stagnant thickening, overstretching, followed by sweating of the liquid part of the blood. That is, edema is a compensatory reaction of the body to an increase in the volume of intercellular fluid. This fluid is formed in the intercellular space, and its only source is lymph. Typically, this fluid contains cytoplasmic components that are part of different cells. When it moves through the lymphatic system, it accumulates in the veins of the lower extremities and leads to the appearance of oedema (congestive edema). As a result of such slowdowns, a change occurs in the lumen of veins of lymphatic origin, the diameter of which is usually very small. Often, connective tissue may appear in the lumen, which does not allow fluid to pass through. In turn, after the rupture of these walls, the connection between the cells is still restored. The vessels collapse and may enlarge again. But this muscle reaction is disrupted over time and gradually disappears, and the replacement of tissue with lymph continues. As a result, the vessels are interrupted and extended sections of fixed veins appear, around which altered tissues grow in the form of plaques and crusts. This condition provokes the occurrence of lymphatic tumors, sclerosis and other pathologies. Recent symptoms lead to disruption
