    This document summarizes the pathophysiology of edema in a patient. It notes risk factors like sedentary lifestyle and coffee consumption led to damaged glomerular capillaries. This caused hypoalbuminemia or low albumin levels, decreasing oncotic pressure and resulting in generalized edema. Symptoms included weakness, swollen skin, abdominal swelling and leg numbness. The patient was treated with furosemide and potassium supplements to reduce edema and sodium retention.
