Hi sir nice vedio, had a small doubt 60 yr old male k/c/o CAD on lipid lowering drugs and multiple anti hypertensive drugs including ccbs and dytor has recent onset bilateral limb edema all inv are unremarkable except for mildly elevated serum uric acid.Can elevated serum uric acid cause bilateral limb edema?

Sir,If venous Doppler results are positive what will be the treatment

[@LakshmiEre]

If it’s venous insufficiency we shud start Dafflon . If it’s DVT thrombolysis in hospital care , of course you can start immediate oral anticoagulants like xarelto which doesn’t need to test coagulation profile

[@krrishmmch]

How do we treat lymphedema, sir?

[@dr-arvindkumar]

Treat the cause

[@tushartiwari1460]

Sir, i recently encountered a interesting case of a middle aged female presented with differential edema (left wrist swelling and right foot ) non pitting, no pain , no features of cellulitis/dvt, duration 4- 5 years . All routine investigations including thyroid profile, usg doppler scan are wnl. Now how should I proceed??? Please guide sir…. Should i go for MR lymph angiogram sir? Or wt and watch?

[@dr-arvindkumar]

So long lymphedema will definitely cause skin changes.If skin changes not there then it’s unlikely

[@tushartiwari1460]

No skin changes sir… Wt should be my next step sir?
