title: [Lymphological aspects of the pathophysiological basis of edema formation].
abstract: A merely lymphological analysis of edema, would be as onesided as a merely phlebological, a merely nephrological, or a merely endocrinological analysis. Heart, arteries, veins, microcirculation, lymphatics, and the whole mesenchym, with the connective tissue ground substance and the cells, form an inseparable unity. Only a complex analysis which considers all connections, makes it possible to unterstand the various edemas--in favour of a reasonable therapy.
