njuries of the foot are commonly associated with edema, a concomitant of local inflammationandmechanicalobstructiontolocalvenousbloodflow.Edemaalsocanresult
fromavarietyofsystemicconditions,someofwhicharepotentiallylifethreatening.However, “swelling, likefever,isnotadisease itselfbutasign ofanunderlyingdisorder.”1 Therapy,
bothinitsformandurgency,mustbetargetedtothecausativeprocess,nottothephysicalsign. The objective of this chapter is to review the pathophysiology of edema, differentiate the pathophysiologiccharacteristicsassociatedwithlocalinjuryfromthoseassociatedwithother diseases,andpresentthedifferentialdiagnosisofperipheraledema,withparticularreference to the clinical signs and symptoms by which the edema of localized injury might be differentiatedfromthatresultingfromothercauses.
Thischapterrepresentsanupdateofachapterwepublishedearlier(ShafferB,BorerJS. Edemaandfootinjuries:pathophysiologyanddifferentialdiagnosis.In:RanawatCS,Positano RG,eds.DisordersoftheHeel,Rearfoot,andAnkle.NewYork,NY:ChurchillLivingstone; 1999:116–124).Muchofthatmaterialisintegratedandincorporatedhereinbydirectquotation or paraphrasing (with permission of the publisher), with addition of new material as appropriate.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGYOFPERIPHERALEDEMA
Ultimately,edemaresultsfrom transudationoffluidacrossthe capillaryorproximalvenular wall.Suchfluidmovementresultsfromanimbalancebetweencapillarypermeabilityandthe flow of fluidthroughthecapillaries. Fluid flow is determinedby capillaryhydrostatic and
oncoticpressures
2–4
;capillarypermeabilityisafunctionoftheperformanceoftheendothelial
cells (throughwhichsolute andfluidcanmove)and size ofthe spaces betweenthesecells (whichalsoserveaspathwaysforfluidandsoluteegress).
3,5
InterstitialandCapillaryHydrostaticPressure
The usual cause of abnormal capillary hydrostatic pressure is increased total intravascular
https://t.me/medicina_free
volume.Concomitantwiththeincreasedintraluminalpressure,thepressuregradientbetween the capillary lumen and the interstitium must rise, at least transiently, precipitating fluid transudation through interendothelial interstices. Most commonly, intravascular volume expansionresultsfromabnormalsodiumretention,asisfoundinthesettingofchronicheart failure(CHF).InCHF,cardiacoutputissubnormal(low-outputCHF)orrelativelyinadequate (high-outputCHF).Ineithercase,renalperfusioniscompromisedbyacombinationofneural and humoral responses triggered by signals emanating from a series of baroreceptors and
chemoreceptors; these signals are influenced by cardiac output.
3,4,6–8
 Subnormal renal perfusion(plasmavolumedeficiency)increasesthereleaseofreninthroughstimulationofthe β-adrenoceptorsinthejuxtaglomerularcellsoftherenalcortex,whichenhancestheproduction of angiotensin I. In the bloodstream, angiotensin I is rapidly converted to angiotensin II. AngiotensinIIcauses increasedsecretionofthe salt-retaininghormonealdosteronefrom the adrenal cortex,renal vasoconstriction(specifically, constriction ofefferentrenalglomerular arterioles), and sodium reabsorption from the proximal convoluted tubule. Angiotensin­mediated vasoconstriction increases blood pressure and decreases renal perfusion, thus increasing filtration fraction and proximal tubular reabsorption of water and sodium in the kidney. Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to reabsorb sodium. Thus, theresultof activating therenin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is increased
plasmavolumepotentiatingthedevelopmentofedema.
6–10
Intravascularvolumealsocanbeexpandediatrogenicallybyintakeoflargefluidvolumes
ataratethatexceedsrenalexcretorypotential.11Effectivecapillaryvolumecanbeincreased even without an increase in total vascular volume by relaxation of precapillary arteriolar muscular sphincters, as occurs iatrogenically byadministration ofcertainvasodilators, like
nifedipine.12Similarly,capillaryvolume,andconcomitantintracapillaryhydrostaticpressure, canbeincreasedbyobstructiontovenousflow,asbyvenousthrombosis.Suchobstructioncan prevent egressoffluidfrom thecapillarylumeninto thevenularlumenwhileforward flow continuesfromtheprecapillaryarterioles,resultinginabnormalfillingofthecapillarylumen. Similarly, in CHF, increased central venous pressure is reflected backward throughout the venoussystem,andtheeffectsofrelativeobstructiontooutflowpotentiatethoseresultingfrom
theincreaseintotalvascularvolume.
6,11,13
InterstitialandCapillaryColloidOncotic(Osmotic)Pressure
Capillaryosmoticpressureprimarilyisafunctionofplasmaproteinconcentrationand,most specifically,theconcentrationoftherelativelysmallprotein,albumin.Thus,capillaryosmotic pressureisreasonablyapproximatedascapillaryoncoticpressure.Generally,plasmaproteins do not pass through the capillary endothelial cells or the intercellular capillary pores. Therefore, the osmotic effects of the intraluminal plasma albumin counteract the effects of abnormalhydrostaticpressureandeventendtopromoteresorptionofinterstitialfluid.Plasma oncoticpressureisdiminishedbyvarioussystemic,renal,andhepaticdiseases(e.g.,nephrotic syndrome,malnutrition,cirrhosis,lossofproteininthegastrointestinaltract,severecatabolic
state).
6,11
Theeffectsofintravascularproteinsareopposedbytheinterstitialcolloidconcentration.
https://t.me/medicina_free
Tissue colloid osmotic pressure can be altered byextravascular proteinaccumulation as a result of abnormal capillary permeability or obstruction of flow within the lymphatic
system.
3,6,13
 Physiologically, the lymphatics remove the fluid, which is filtered by normal capillaries.Thus,normally,thereisaslightflowgradientfromthearterialtothevenousside ofthecapillaries;thefluidandprotein,whichenterthecapillariesfromthearterioles,exceed thecapacityofthecapillaries,whichfiltertheexcessintotheinterstitialspace.Someofthis excess is resorbed into the capillary as this vessel communicates withthe more compliant venule. However, the amount filtered generally exceeds the efficiency of the resorption process.Theexcessisremoveddirectlybythelymphaticvessels,whichdraintheinterstitial
space,thusenablingtissuehomeostasistobemaintainedforwaterandsolute.
3–6,13
Thelymph is returnedtothe venous system via anastomoses between lymphatic vessels andthe larger centralveins.
Ifthelymphaticsystemisobstructed(asmayoccurwithcertainmalignanciesandcentral
venous obstruction), excess fluid and protein can accumulate in the extravascular space, increasinginterstitialosmoticpressureandpotentiatingedemaformation.
3,5,6,13
CapillaryPermeability
Generally, onlynoncolloidsolutes permeatethe capillarywallfreely.Injurytothe capillary wall from chemical, bacterial, immunologic, thermal, or mechanical sources (as is characteristic of inflammation) can increase capillary transmural permeability to larger molecules, like albumin and other plasma proteins.Thus, for example, inextreme cases of capillaryendothelialcellhypoxia(asmightbeseenwiththeischemiaofarteriolarorarterial obstruction or in the context of poison gas, burns, or allergic reactions), increases in permeabilityofcapillariesandsmallvenulescanallowfluid,highinproteincontent,toenter the extravascular space within the injured tissue. Such abnormalities in microvascular permeability generally are not important factors in the pathophysiology of the common
generalizededematousstates,butcanbeimportantinthegenesisoflocalizededema.
3,6,11
Severalmechanismsmayunderliepathologicalterationsincapillarypermeability.During acuteandnon-necrotizinginjurytotheskin,releaseofendogenousautacoids(e.g.,histamine, serotonin), presumablymost often from mast cells, can cause arterial constriction,possibly associatedwithcapillaryinjury(itselfpotentiallyaffectingcapillaryendothelialfunctionand integrity).Aperiodofconstrictiongenerallyisfollowedbyarterialdilation,whichincreases flow into the capillaries. Release of autacoids appears tobe triggered by local release of calciumionsfrominjuredcells.Theeffectsoftheautacoidsarehighlyselective,resultingin separationofthelateralbordersonlyoftheendothelialcellsliningthepostcapillaryvenulesof 10to30µmindiameterandnot,strictlyspeaking,ofthecapillariesthemselves.Indeed,the effect can be quite marked: the width of the intercellular clefts can be greatly enlarged,
sufficiently even to accommodate 7 to 10 µm of formed blood elements.14 Although the microvascular basement membrane, which limits movement of colloidal particles (e.g., lipoproteins), is not affected by autacoid release, this barrier can be traversed by plasma
proteinsandsmallersolutes,allowingedemaformation.
14
Alterationinthefunction oftheendothelialcellsthemselvesalsocanbeimportantinthe

pathophysiology of edema formation. Endothelium lining the microvasculature forms the critical barrier controlling the exchange of molecules between blood and interstitial fluid. Interactionofbloodwiththeendothelialcellsurface(theglycocalyx)canrestrictorincrease transendothelial transport of specific ligands. Excessive movement of osmotically active moleculesintotheinterstitiumcanpromoteedemaformation,whereastheirtransportoutofthe interstitialspacecanhavetheoppositeeffect.Becausetheseendothelialtransportmechanisms depend on endothelial expression of cell surface glycoproteins, regional variations in endothelial transportcanbeexpected andmaybe usefulindeveloping tissue-directed drug
therapies,whichmightlimitedemaformationincertainsettings.
15
The composition of the serum also can affect capillary permeability. This influence depends on the capacity of serum components to affect the configuration of the electrical chargeoftheglycocalyx.Normally, the netnegative chargeconfigurationatthecell surface tends to restrict transcapillary transport of polyanionic molecules to a greater degree than neutralorpolycationicmolecules.Endothelialcellsurfacebinding ofcertainplasmaanionic macromolecules, such as albumin and orosomucoids, increases the charge negativity at the
glycocalyx, resulting in greater polyanion exclusion.15 In addition to its effects via surface chargealteration,serumalbuminactsasastericmolecular“filter”thatcanresistthetransport
ofwater,smallsolutes,andmacromoleculesacrossthemicrovascularwall.15Thus,reduction inserumproteinscanpromoteedemaformationbothbyreducingserumoncoticpressureand minimizing theelectrostaticandphysical effectsthat retard movement ofosmoticallyactive moleculesintotheextravascularspace.
DIFFERENTIALETIOLOGICDIAGNOSISOF PERIPHERALEDEMA
The pathophysiologic processes described previously can occur in various combinations amongthemanydiseaseprocessescharacterizedbyperipheraledema.Cluestotheunderlying causecanbeinferredfromassociatedclinicalsymptomsandphysicalsigns.Inapproachingthe differential diagnosis ofedema, a useful frameworkforseparating localizedprocessesfrom systemicordiffusediseasescanbebasedonconsiderationofthefollowingcharacteristics:

BilateralEdema
Bilateraledemacommonlybeginssimultaneouslyinbothlegsatfeetandanklesandproceeds symmetricallyupthelegs.2Possiblecausesincludethefollowing:
ChronicHeartFailure
Historyofpotentialcauses/contributingfactors:hypertension,angina,ormyocardialinfarction; valvular diseases; cardiomyopathy; etc. Symptoms: dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea; associated signs: tachypnea, rales, rhonchi, distended neck
veins, tachycardia, hepatomegaly, ventricular gallop, heart murmur, etc.
1,2,11
 Edema of CHF
typically is soft and easily pitting, occurs predominantly in dependent parts of body, and, therefore, diminishes in legs after a period of recumbency.
1,2,11
 CHF edema can be distinguishedfromotherformsofdependentedemabythepresenceofengorgedcervicalveins, particularlyifevidence ofdiffusely elevatedsystemic venous pressure(e.g.,hepatomegaly)

PulmonaryHypertension
Causesofpulmonaryhypertensionareleft-sidedheartfailure,chronicobstructivepulmonary disease(COPD),andsleep apnea.16Sleepapneais anunderrecognizedcauseofedemaand

NephroticSyndrome
Historyofcausative/contributingfactors:renaldisease/uremia,proteinuria,hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia;symptoms:polyuria/polydipsia,nocturia.Renalbiopsycanconfirmthe
diagnosis.
1,2,6
AcuteGlomerulonephritis
Historyofcausative/contributing factors: historyconsistentwith recent groupA β-hemolytic streptococcal infection; proteinuria, hematuria, markedly subnormal creatinine clearance,
recent-onsethypertension.

HepaticCirrhosis
Historyofcausative/contributingfactors:historyofcontinuingjaundiceorabdominalswelling, hepatosplenomegaly, gynecomastia, ascites, spider angiomas, palmar erythema2; abnormal fecallossofalbumin,6diagnosticliverbiopsyorscan,abnormalserumliverenzymes,etc.

Hypoproteinemia
History of causative/contributing factors: malnutrition, diarrhea, known malabsorption syndromeofanycause.
1,2
IdiopathicCyclicEdema
Historyoftemporalfactors:onsetisquickandmarkedanddisappearanceiscomplete,with recurrences of a similar pattern; edema affects hands, face, legs, abdomen, and lower extremities. Itoften is relatedto themenstrual cycleand is limitedalmostentirelytoobese womenaged 20 to 40 years; maycause a 3- to 4-lb weightgain from morningto evening, reversedbybedrest;syndromemaybeself-limited,sometimesdisappearingafterafewcycles (months). More commonly, it recurs during 1 to 20 years after initial episode. Associated
symptoms:headache,irritability,anxiety,anddepression.
1,2,19
Position-RelatedEdema
Historyofcausative/contributingfactors: any conditionthatseverelylimitsambulation(e.g., various arthritides2). History of temporal factors: temporal association with sitting and
standingforlongperiodswithoutuseofcalfandlegmuscles(increasingcapillaryhydrostatic pressure by relative obstruction to capillary outflow because of gravity-mediated venous pressureelevationinlowerextremities).Symptoms:generallypainless,butifpainexistsfor otherreasons(e.g.,musculoskeletalinjury),hangingaffectedfootoverbedatnighttorelieve

painmayresultinunilateraledema2;sitting (torelieveischemicpain)canresultinbilateral edema.2 Physical signs: skin generally increasingly compliant with age, resulting in diminishing interstitial fluid pressureand enabling considerable fluid accumulation2;edema
can be unilateral if arterial insufficiency coexists with dependency or if dependency is systematicallyunilateral.
Lipedema
Historyofcausative/contributingfactors:bilateralsymmetricdistributionoffatconfinedtoor predominantly present in thelower extremities, characteristically sparing thefeet (andthus

DrugEffects
History of causative/contributing factors: temporally related use of nonsteroidal anti­inflammatory medications (e.g., phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone, ibuprofen2), certain
vasodilating andantihypertensive drugs(e.g.,dihydropyridinecalcium channelblockerslike nifedipine,α-methyldopa,guanethidinesulfate,hydrazaline,diazoxide, rauwolfiaalkaloids),

hormone therapy (e.g., progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, corticosteroids, adrenocorticotropins),monoamineoxidaseinhibitorantidepressantdrugs,etc.Physicalsigns:
edemaissoftandpitting,similartothatobservedwithcyclicedemaorhypoproteinemia.

Inrareinstances,theantibioticclassoffluoroquinoloneshasbeenassociatedwithcausing peripheral leg edema. Levofloxacin, which is commonly prescribed for treatments of the respiratorytract,urinarytract,andskin/softtissueinfections,hasbeenassociatedwithacute
leg edema and stasis dermatitis.20 Furthermore, antibiotics that are excreted through the kidneysneedtobemonitored,aslegedemacouldbeasignofkidneypathologysecondaryto antibiotic regimen. Antibiotics that have been associated with acute renal failure are
aminoglycosides,amphotericinB,vancomycin,andβ-lactamantibiotics.
21
PrimaryLymphedema
History of temporal factors: onset gradual, over days, weeks, or months2 (and thus distinguishable from idiopathiccyclic edema) and is chronic.Symptoms: generallypainless unlessaconcurrentpainfulprocessisextant.Physicalsigns:oftenaccompaniedbyabnormal

23
ExtremeHigh-TemperatureExposure
History of causative/contributing factors: temporally related exposure to high temperatures (which cause peripheral vasodilation, increasing flow through, and hydrostatic pressure in
affected capillary beds), typically occurring in healthy individuals.2 History of temporal factors: moderately rapid onset (many minutes to hours depending on temperatures, dependency of limbs, etc.), moderately rapid resolution (again depending on temperature change,aswellasintercurrentambulation).
UnilateralEdema
Thecausesofunilateraledemaaremorenumerousthanbilateraledemaand,mostcommonly, arebecauseoflocalratherthansystemicconditions.
2
ChronicVenousInsufficiency
Thisisthemostcommoncauseofunilateraledema,
1,2
occasionallyresultingfromcongenitally absent or abnormal valves of thedeep veins butmore commonlycaused by acquired deep venousvalvulardysfunction;ineithercase,valvularinsufficiencyresultsinabnormalvenous pressure when affected body parts are dependent, with associated relative obstruction to capillary outflow.History ofcausative/contributing factors: remote deep venous thrombosis (veins subjected to engorgement distal to thrombi often are permanently dilated because of damageandremodelingvascularwall,commonlyrenderingvalvesincompetent;additionally,
venous valves often are damaged or destroyed during the healing process1). Deep venous thrombophlebitis can be symptomatic, but often is asymptomatic and must be detected by objective testing. A specific “subacute” form of this syndrome regularly is observed after coronary artery bypass grafting in which a venous bypass conduit is used; removal of the saphenousveinleadstotransientvolumeoverloadoftheremainingveinsintheipsilateralleg, withresultingsoft,pittingedemathatresolvesoverseveralmonthsasthedeepveinsremodel tohandle their newload.Chronicstasis changes(seelater) seldom occurunlessadditional, preexistingvenousdiseaseispresent.Physicalsigns:inearlystages, edematypicallyissoft and pitting, consisting mainly of fluid transudation resulting from excessive microvascular
