The most immediate and noticeable effect will be edema of vascularized tissue since the lymphatic system is crucial to the maintenance of interstitial fluid pressures. Since the lymphatic system is also responsible for the delivery of tissue-bourne and ingested pathogens to the lymph nodes, a non-functioning lymphatic system can conceivably also hinder innate immune responses and compromise the adaptive immune system. A non-functioning lymphatic system can also stop the absorption of lipids from the gut. The lymphatic system is damaged constantly by pathogens but these symptoms are not so common in daily life. This is because the lymphatic system has an amazing ability to regenerate.
