Edema Osmotic

Osmotic edema is a phenomenon that occurs as a result of an imbalance between water and various solutes in the tissues of the body. Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by dissolved substance molecules on the cell membranes that hold them inside the cell. When the number of molecules in the blood or tissue fluid increases or decreases, this can cause the osmotic pressure in the tissue to increase or decrease.

Osmotic edematous syndrome is a set of symptoms reflecting the pathological filling of tissue spaces caused by the pathological accumulation of free fluid in the area of ​​edema. Edema syndrome is classified as an acute or chronic pathology, common mainly in the practice of surgeons and therapists. The main signs of this disease include changes in the color and density of tissues, as well as swelling. It is worth noting that the volume of liquid accumulated under pressure does not exceed 1 liter. If the volume exceeds this figure, then congestive pathology is diagnosed based on pulmonary edema (more common in smokers).

There are several types of osmoedema
