Obstruction of the lymphatics cause decreased interstitium fluid drainage, leading to increased interstitial hydrostatic pressure, increased interstitial fluid volume, and eventually edema.

What is the diagnostic test to detect damage of the lymphatic vessels?

A lymphoscintigraphy test is commonly used to detect damage or blockage in the lymphatic vessels. This imaging test involves injecting a small amount of radioactive dye into the lymphatic vessels to track the flow of lymphatic fluid. Areas of blockage or damage will show up as abnormal patterns on the scan.

What is tissue swelling due to lymphatic obstruction?

Lymphatic obstruction is a blockage of the lymph vessels that drain fluid from tissues throughout the body and allow immune cells to travel where they are needed. Lymphatic obstruction may cause lymphedema, which means swelling due to a blockage of the lymph passages


Is edema caused by lymphatic blockage?

Yes, edema can be caused by lymphatic blockage, which prevents lymph fluid from draining properly. This accumulation of fluid in tissues leads to swelling, particularly in the affected area. Conditions such as lymphedema result from damage or obstruction of lymphatic vessels, contributing to this fluid buildup. Other factors can also cause edema, but lymphatic obstruction is a significant contributor.
