Trace edema refers to a mild accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces of tissues, often detected during a physical examination. It is typically characterized by slight swelling, usually in the extremities, and is often graded on a scale from trace to more severe forms. Trace edema may indicate underlying conditions such as heart failure, kidney issues, or venous insufficiency, but it can also be a normal response to prolonged standing or physical exertion. Monitoring and further evaluation may be necessary to determine its cause and significance.
