What does EDEMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A condition in which excess fluid collects in the tissues of the body, causing swelling.
Edema happens when fluid leaks out of small blood vessels faster than the body can drain it away, so it builds up under the skin or around organs and causes visible swelling. It can affect a small area, such as a swollen ankle after an injury, or spread more widely in serious heart, kidney or liver conditions. The American spelling edema and the British spelling oedema refer to exactly the same medical condition.
