Abstract:
Any disruption of the lymphatic system, including vessels and nodes, precludes the mobilization of lymph, resulting in the accumulation of colloidal material in the intercellular spaces. This article outlines the lymphatic system development and anatomy, leg lymph composition and flow, and diagnostic approaches and treatment for various forms of primary and secondary lymphedema.
