A, B
Edema, or an excessive amount of fluid in the tissues, is an abnormal finding. It is common in patients with congestive heart failure, kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, or low albumin levels. It is not related to thyroid disease and it is not a normal or common finding in older adults.
