Lower extremity edema is a common complaint of patients across all medical specialties. This is a wide group of conditions, ranging from relatively minor conditions such as false swelling in lipedema to life-threatening conditions such as heart failure and nephrotic syndrome. The most common cause of chronic edema is chronic venous disease. High-quality differential diagnosis aims to determine the etiology of edema and initiate targeted treatment.
