Edema Limited Acute

Limited acute edema Acute edema most often occurs as part of kidney diseases; its cause is an increase in the permeability of the vascular walls. Edema occurs as a reaction of the body to a violation of the water-salt balance.

Symptoms of limited acute edema: * a feeling of numbness, heaviness and pain in the area of ​​edema, * the color of the skin over the edema is pale, “marble”, * palpation reveals a diffuse swelling of the skin without clear boundaries, moderately pronounced tissue compaction, * the skin over the lesion may have bluish or greenish tint.

Bruises appear due to blood clotting disorders and the formation of hemorrhages when capillaries break under the skin. The size of the bruises allows us to judge the total volume of circulating blood. Often the size of the bruise doubles in a day. Pain is localized at the site of edema, and sensitivity disturbances are noted. If the patient’s condition is stable, then an inflammatory process develops in the edema tissues - warming of their surface appears, hyperemia, and local hyperthermia is possible. Any physical impact may cause pain and discomfort. With deep forms of edema, the mobility of the corresponding part of the body is limited. **Treatment** Therapy is aimed at eliminating the causes of the disease using conservative and surgical techniques.

If swelling is caused by mechanical trauma or vascular damage, analgesics and immobilization of the damaged organ with a bandage or splint are prescribed to reduce pain and limit the possibility of further injury. Against the background of acute circulatory failure or left ventricular failure, peripheral edema develops. Infusion therapy sessions can be performed to improve blood circulation.

For allergic edema, antiallergic drugs are used. As swelling progresses, hospitalization of the patient and inpatient treatment are recommended. Surgical treatment is advisable if conservative methods are ineffective, as well as if there are indications for immediate surgery. Thrombectomy is used to
