I am a visual learner and this explanation created mental videos in my brain that I will never forget. Thank you. Truly amazing. Looking forward to search for more of your videos while getting through nursing school.
As someone who's had to deal with Oedema I find this very interesting. Thank you for a very clear explanation! I think that the reason for my legs and feet to swell was due to sitting too much behind my computer during very hot days of summer. I've since then started walking on a daily basis and apart from losing weight I've not had to deal with Oedema since :)
Thank you so much, I also have this problem...I want to cuss it but more than that, I want to be rid of it. I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy. But I will definitely take your advice & hopefully I can leave it in the past. I am so tired of it keeping me awake at night. Again thank you for your helpful comment.
you are amazing, I'm Phd student at QUT and researcher in wounds care in Brisbane Australia and I find your videos so useful for me to remember some basic knowledge , thank you
thank you so so much I finally understand this process, you are brilliant at explaining, I have some hope of passing exams thanks to your videos, can never thank you enough. will be following up to get your books, can't wait to have these. love and light karen
even though this lecture is more than 12 years old it is absolutely the best lecture on peripheral edema you can find anywhere on the net. thanks doctor Campbell for such an clear, concise and easy to understand lecture. truly amazing🙏
Great video. Thank you for the upload. Where would a hormonal imbalance fall in this and/or a thyroid condition? Would that also be increased capillary permeability? Thank you again..
Hello, Dr. John Campbell it's nice to see you and your video lecture. Very helpful indeed. I think I am also having swelling problem since 2014 (first appeared in October). Swelling occur if I sit for long hours(i.e-2/3 hours). But it(swelling) remains only for a day. In 2014 I went to doctor for consultation and they gave me some medication which basically vitamin B complex(B1, B6, B12). Do you think these are the proper medication for swelling legs? I would like to hear from you. Thanks.
No, Most of the tissue fluid is reabsorbed under the influence of osmotic pressure at the venous end of the capillary. This is the normal physiological situation. The hydrostatic pressure is lower at the venous end, so there is less force pushing outwards. The osmotic pressure is generated by the plasma proteins, mostly albumin. It is true that after significant haemorrhage, the hydrostatic pressures will be less, so less tissue fluid will be formed, and more reabsorbed.
I get some swelling in my ankles mainly my left leg,wonder if sleeping on a heating pad every night to ease my lower back pain could effect my kidneys and be causing this swelling,my muscles in my lower back cramp without heat when sleeping.
I had blood infection through my skin issue dermatitis on my hands , I had this three times over 15 years. Each time I ended up with cellulitis. I had swollen hands edema until I started taking a Breakthrough stabilised redox signalling molecules .. my hands are wonderful now .
I can still remember how my friend suffered from Edema with all the swollen body but he is Lucky that he listened to me when I recommended Dr Madida on UA-cam to him, Dr Madida got him cured with his treatment. My friend is completely fine now✅.
72 w/ a CRT-d: so I have edema. I gain about 2 lbs a day in fluid w/o water pills. how do I find out where it is coming from and how to stop it? can leaky heart valves be part of it. if the heart is weak then the pressure will be affected?
Good day sir. I just want to ask something. If your body is excreting protein out of your system, does it mean that the hydrostatic pressure in the venous end of the capillary is high compared to the oncotic pressure? Thank you.
Dr. Can drips of water causes edema? I say so because when my sugar levels were at 32. I was put on 3 drips . I now have swollen ankles and on right hand. But no pain. What Can I do?
Itamin d and itamin b12 is also problem, li er can also be given too much protein. Like a t acids.i had co stant cystitus.i get pai some times on taki g amin a ids. But also since i take them i get more strength breathi g is easier. My physio had to release my rib cage so i could breath properly i found it resolved a lot of problems esp fluid out if lungs.dr berg was saying too much calcium in ateries is problem.i was think worms can be filtered out.
just wondering does this issues also happen on the hand? I am currently having a slight swell on my right hand. Is there any natural remedy to heal this issue?
Well, I started looking at edema videos, because I'm having a bout of it, and (while I'm under a doctor's care, primarily) I wanted to understand it better. And then I saw this come up in the recommends... because of course I've been watching your Covid videos. Glad I found this! Definitely some useful information here... thanks!
Now I understand why I am so sensitive to swelling. Or perhaps I know some of the possibilities, Thank you so much. I have been dealing with oedema for 13 years and no doctor has taken the time to show me why. I now am trying to figure out what I can do to avoid it..
You just described the problem I've had for almost a year since chemo. I can only sip throughout the day or I urinate it out. I wake early because a few hours sleep without water dehydrates me. So far only a urologist admited my urine showed dehydration. I can only tolerate steamed vegetables at this point, if I eat animal protein I become unbearably dehydrated. I have reduced lymphatic drainage (lost 11 in mastectomy); allergies (anaphylactic shock for almost a year after iatrogenic chemo/pharm drug damage/psych drug withdrawal caused histamine intolerance & allergies to many foods); I imagine I become unbearably dehydrated when I eat protein because I hve decreased plasma protein & my capillaries have increased permeability. I've lost 15 pounds in six months (I look like a proteeinemia kid, docs think I'm "thin"; docs dismiss my normally 90/60 dropping to 78/42 as "normal"; my urine has foam (varies depending on what I eat). What specialist can I see about this? Every doctor I see tells me there's nothing wrong with me & want to put me on antidepressants (my bloods "aren't that bad," though I don't want to wait until they are). I will take no more drugs, so I can only heal through diet; and I'd really like to get some plasma (albumin?) infusions. What specialist can I see, and do you have any tips on how to approach him? As dehydrated as I am, it's only a matter of time before the cancer spreads (got pushed into the vascular space around the lymphs from the mammos before surgery. I refused radiation & tamoxifen, will never do chemo again. I'm running out of time). Thanks for giving me the answer I've been looking for for over four months!!!
Please can you answer one question for me? Will pure unprocessed salt create additional edema? I have done extensive experiments to try to increase blood pressure through increased PURE salt. and I am emphasizing the word PURE. To date I have not created an increase in blood pressure through increased salt.
I am not an MD, but understand most of medical diagnosis’ being in the medical community for 40:years. Developed late onset severe RA and now for the first time......pitting edema in both feet and legs. Being Celiac and having a large hiatal hernia is adding to the equation. Your lecture was highly informative a precisely to the point. Numerous testing is beginning to get some answers. I stumbled on this video after becoming a fan of your on the COVID-19 videos. Thank you ever so much.😊
Thank u ,i like all f ur videos bcz the subjects r related to clinical points . by the way ,Im confused the effect f vasoconstriction on edema ,From an other aspect vasoconstriction dosent cz edema? ,bcz in vasoconstriction diameter f capilary decrease wich increases resistance thus decreasing blood pressur in capilary . Or the effect f vasoconstriction on increasing the size f gaps ( subsequently permeability ) is much more than its effect on capillaries blood pressure ?
What if you have recently had 3 intestinal pulips removed,and still feeling like you are on fire,due to ulcers in the stomach,being the very cause? now i have edema in hands and feet,what should i do?
my water retention just got worse, to the point I have "water"? leaking at a couple points on my body, mainly my lower back near the top of my anus. no insurance, an scared. does anyone else know of this?
not till October 1st, when I get Medicare. was pushed out of my job a year ago for severe arthritis and A-FIB. and just got S.S. my savings- gone. 59 yrs old.
Hi my mother has had a recent test on her heart liver kidneys all came back ok from test. She is on a tablet called Pregabalin this was reduced from 75mg to 25 mg the swelling in her legs went down for a few weeks then came back she is still on the 25mg if all tests are coming back ok what else could it be if not this tablet
Me too since I have been back on my pc for a month and sitting here most of the day my legs are swollen and I can push a finger in my legs and the imprint stays there, and this was very worrying the first time it happened but it is still not nice and I think I will take some more walking
This is an amazing lecture; I understood so much more in this video than an entire 2-hour lecture on Edema in class. Thank you so much!

Good teacher! We Yanks say capillary with the emphasis on the syllable "cap." I think I'll start saying it the way he says it.
Dr. Campbell,do you have any presentation on CHF Pulmonary edema?
excellent I wish he was my teacher
Excellent lecture, I wish my teacher could explain this way. Thank you very much.
you are amazing, I'm Phd student at QUT and researcher in wounds care in Brisbane Australia and I find your videos so useful for me to remember some basic knowledge , thank you
I'm a beauty therapist and I love your lessons. Thank you:)))
I could not understand in class yesterday. they way explained its so easy to understand. thank you so much for posting this video.
Thank you.

I am grateful i happened to be asked this during oral exams
I need to sell some books, please get your classmates to buy a Physiology book and a Pathophysiology book from
campbellteaching.co.uk
thanks, John
Dr Campbell sir really very very informative feedback on oedema worth listening many times to fully understand good wishes 22/02/2020
Thank you SO much! That was so helpful!!
Wonderful explanation- You are one of the few that I have ever seen who can really teach. A noticeable gift-Thanks!
U r the best teacher so far
Are you based in the UK? Do you see clients for consultations?
Many causes of edema, but what specific blood/medical tests should be done?
Great video. Thank you for the upload. Where would a hormonal imbalance fall in this and/or a thyroid condition? Would that also be increased capillary permeability? Thank you again..
Contact with me plz
You've explained the concept of edema amazingly well!!! Thank you so much! Your a legend!

You are most welcome Teresa, I teach nurses in the UK, and sometimes in Cambodia, when I get the time. John
brilliant video so clearly explained thanks
A very thorough explanation, thank you very much

Ty dr John ........really helped me
I get some swelling in my ankles mainly my left leg,wonder if sleeping on a heating pad every night to ease my lower back pain could effect my kidneys and be causing this swelling,my muscles in my lower back cramp without heat when sleeping.
Thank you John really informative and a great way to learn .
This was great! It really helped me and was super easy to understand! Thank you!
Can't a lack of calcium and magnesium cause edema also?
I had blood infection through my skin issue dermatitis on my hands , I had this three times over 15 years. Each time I ended up with cellulitis. I had swollen hands edema until I started taking a Breakthrough stabilised redox signalling molecules .. my hands are wonderful now .
I can still remember how my friend suffered from Edema with all the swollen body but he is Lucky that he listened to me when I recommended Dr Madida on UA-cam to him, Dr Madida got him cured with his treatment. My friend is completely fine now✅.
You are absolutely amazing!
very informative and knowledgeable.

this prof is awesome, i love the way he teaches, so great. God bless.
Thank you for making medical one step easy for us ...
Good day sir. I just want to ask something. If your body is excreting protein out of your system, does it mean that the hydrostatic pressure in the venous end of the capillary is high compared to the oncotic pressure? Thank you.

My physio had to release my rib cage so i could breath properly i found it resolved a lot of problems esp fluid out if lungs.dr berg was saying too much calcium in ateries is problem.i was think worms can be filtered out.
Great explanation, thank you!
thank you, that was really helpful!
Thank you!!
Thank you for this video sir! Very informative!
It's pronounced capillary not capillary
I am curious as to whether a major poison ivy rash can cause edema. I have edema in both of my feet. I am still getting over the major rash.
just wondering does this issues also happen on the hand? I am currently having a slight swell on my right hand. Is there any natural remedy to heal this issue?
@Paul Zigco Thats great new about your recovery. Could you send me the link of the video of the Dr that healed you. Thanks

Sodium and water retention?
Thank you so much for the wonderful information.
Microtubules made of actin and myosin....actually like muscle cells......c'mon, mate, you know it is wrong.
excellent
I have learn more regarding edema and chest injuries watching your presentation than I have learn in my paramedic class.Thanks so much Dr.Campbell.
This is the best video I've come across. Thank you sir for the great, much needed explanation!
What if you have recently had 3 intestinal pulips removed,and still feeling like you are on fire,due to ulcers in the stomach,being the very cause? now i have edema in hands and feet,what should i do?
I have fluid in my right hand. what could that be caused from then, should I see a doctor?
@Campbellteaching what about sodium retention due to aldosterone?can't that cause edema too?
my water retention just got worse, to the point I have "water"? leaking at a couple points on my body, mainly my lower back near the top of my anus. no insurance, an scared. does anyone else know of this?
It would be best to treat the underlying cause of this problem, is there any local doctor will see you?
not till October 1st, when I get Medicare. was pushed out of my job a year ago for severe arthritis and A-FIB. and just got S.S. my savings- gone. 59 yrs old.
OMG Doctor you are amazing. please make more videos. I understood this so clearly.
That shy outro of Dr. Campbell was the highlight of the video, what a wonderful lecturer you are.
he is brilliant. I wish he were my professor.
Hi my mother has had a recent test on her heart liver kidneys all came back ok from test. She is on a tablet called Pregabalin this was reduced from 75mg to 25 mg the swelling in her legs went down for a few weeks then came back she is still on the 25mg if all tests are coming back ok what else could it be if not this tablet
This was super helpful
thanks very much
This is the first time causes for edema has been explained to where I fully understand it. Thank you!
Me too since I have been back on my pc for a month and sitting here most of the day my legs are swollen and I can push a finger in my legs and the imprint stays there, and this was very worrying the first time it happened but it is still not nice and I think I will take some more walking
This was a perfect video on oedema, I have saved it onto my favourites! Thank you very much :)
Thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuu
Poor visuals .
Thanks ❤
