What this outcome means

Edema is the puffy swelling that builds up when excess fluid collects in tissues, most often in the ankles, feet, or legs. On DoseRank it maps to a defined health outcome built from human studies on limb circumference, fluid retention measures, and swelling severity scores – data sourced from open sources and specialized resources. DoseRank is not medical advice.
