Edema is caused by |
Water retention (osmosis) due to high intake of salt Water loss (reverse osmosis) due to high intake of salt Water retention (reverse osmosis) due to low intake of salt Water loss (osmosis) due to high intake of salt |
Water retention (osmosis) due to high intake of salt |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Water retention (osmosis) due to high intake of salt Edema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the tissues. It occurs mainly due to water retention by osmosis, which can happen when there is high salt intake (Na⁺ increases osmotic pressure in the blood, drawing water into tissues). |
