Abstract

Oedema is a common childhood problem with important public health implications. It is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space which might result from a decrease in intravascular oncotic pressure, an increase in intravascular hydrostatic pres sure, an increase in capillary permeability or impaired lymphatic drainage. Renal sodium retention is an important factor in gener alised oedema. This article reviews the pathophysiology and aetiology of oedema in children and suggests an approach to evalu ation, diagnosis and management of the problem.
