  • Title: Edema in childhood.
    Author: Hisano S, Hahn S, Kuemmerle NB, Chan JC, DeSanto NG.
    Journal: Kidney Int Suppl; 1997 Jun; 59():S100-4. PubMed ID: 9185114.
    Abstract:
    There are two types of edema: localized edema and generalized edema. The causes of generalized edema in childhood are diverse. Formation of generalized edema involves retention of sodium and water in the kidney. The treatment of generalized edema depends on the primary etiology. Supportive nutritional and medical therapies are needed to prevent further edema. These and related features of edema in childhood are discussed in this review.
