Q.1
Given below are two statements for edema, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Inflammatory edema is the excessive accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces and body cavities
Reason (R) : Edema is generally due to decerease in colloid osmotic pressure
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- Pathophysiology of Edema:
- Assertion (A): Inflammatory edema is the excessive accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces and body cavities.
- Generally, inflammatory swelling produces a protein-rich exudate resulting from increased microvascular endothelial permeability.
- Reason (R): Edema is generally due to decrease in colloid osmotic pressure.
- Decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure (hypoalbuminemia) produces a protein-poor transudate (non-inflammatory edema). It does NOT explain inflammatory edema.
- nalysis:
- In evaluating standard competitive exam questions, the statement distinction between transudative systemic mechanisms and localized inflammatory exudation is tested (Option 4).
Correct option: (4) (A) is false but (R) is true.
