Why edema is periorbital in nephrotic syndrome?
Edema in nephrotic syndrome occurs due to protein loss in the urine, leading to decreased plasma oncotic pressure. This causes fluid to shift into the interstitial spaces, resulting in swelling, particularly in dependent areas such as around the eyes (periorbital edema).

The difference between cardiac and renal edema?
Cardiac edema is caused by heart failure leading to fluid accumulation in the lungs or extremities, while renal edema is due to impaired kidney function resulting in fluid retention throughout the body. Cardiac edema often presents with shortness of breath and swollen ankles, while renal edema can manifest as generalized swelling and decreased urine output. Treatment for cardiac edema focuses on managing heart failure, while renal edema requires addressing the underlying kidney dysfunction.
What is nonpitting edema?
Nonpitting edema is a type of swelling observed in medical conditions like lymphedema or myxedema, where pressure applied to the swollen area does not leave a temporary indentation.

Treatment often involves addressing the underlying condition causing the edema and may include strategies like compression therapy or medications.
