What are the causes of nephritic edema?

Kidneys are responsible for filtering blood. They can discharge the metabolic products from blood and keep the useful substances in body such as protein.

However, in Kidney Disease, the filters (glomeruli) of kidneys are damaged, but the renal tubules still keep normal function and they can absorb the sodium and water flowing through them thus causing retention of fluid and sodium. As the patients are usually accompanied by increased systemic capillary permeability, the fluid will permeate into tissues spaces thus resulting in nephritic edema. This is a common cause of edema in people with Kidney Disease, especially Nephritis.

In addition, as the filters in kidneys are damaged, they can not prevent the protein leakage into urine. Hence, the protein concentration in blood decreases, but the protein level in tissues is higher. The fluid in blood will filter into tissues spaces thus resulting in edema.
