NSAID Drug induced edema is due to

A
Increased hydrostatic pressure
B
Protein losing enteropathy
C
Endothelial damage due to IL-2
D
Low oncotic pressure
High-Yield Explanation
(A) Increased hydrostatic pressure# EDEMA> Causes due to increase hydrostatic pressure (due to enchanced renal salt & water): Congestive heart failure; Acute enphritis; Nephrotic syndrome; Chronic renal disease; Cirrhosis liver; Hypothyroidism. Drug induced fluid retention (E.g NSAID use)\ Idiopathic or cyclical edema.> Edema due to decreased oncotic pressure (due to low serum albumin): Neprhotic syndrome; Cirrhosis liver; Malnutrition.> Edema due to inherent defects in edema preventing mechanisms (seen in face and neck/upper half of body): Prolonged Trendelenberg's position; Edema seen with 'weightlessness (space travel)'.> Lymphedema: Edema due to increased capillary permeability; Angioderma; Vasodilators, e.g. amlodepine; xPostural edema; Inflammatory edema.
