Answers:
Edema is an observable swelling from fluid accumulation in certain body tissues. Edema most commonly occurs in the feet and legs, where it also is referred to as peripheral edema. The swelling is the result of the accumulation of excess fluid under the skin in the spaces within the tissues that are outside of the blood vessels. These spaces are known as interstitial spaces or compartments. Most of the body's fluids that are found outside of the cells are normally stored in two spaces; the blood vessels (where the fluids are called the blood volume) and the interstitial spaces (where the fluids are called the interstitial fluid). In various diseases, excess fluid can accumulate in either one or both of these compartments.


Pitting edema can be demonstrated by applying pressure to, for example, the skin of a swollen leg, by depressing the skin with a finger. If the pressing causes an indentation in the skin that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to as pitting edema. Actually, any form of pressure, such as from the elastic part of socks, can induce the pitting of this edema.

pitting edemas are edemas that leaves a depression when ur skin is pressed onto ur bone. ussualy caused by heart dieases, pregnancy or someother.

When fluid collects in the interstitial space (the space between the cells of the body), it causes a person's body to swell--usually the extremities. This is called edema. When you are able to make a dent with your finger in the fluid-filled skin and it remains dented for a second or so, this is considered pitting edema. It can be labeled as +1 to +4 (or +5-- can't remember) pitting edema, depending on the length of time the skin remains indented.
