About Peripheral edema.

Peripheral edema is a clinical sign characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fluid within the interstitial tissues of the extremities, most frequently involving dependent areas such as the feet, ankles, and lower legs, though it may also involve the upper limbs.

It arises from disturbances in microvascular Starling forces, notably increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, diminished plasma oncotic pressure, increased vascular permeability, or impaired lymphatic drainage.

The presentation can be unilateral or bilateral and is commonly associated with systemic pathologies such as congestive heart failure, renal disease, and hepatic failure, as well as localized conditions including chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis.
