What Causes Calf Edema?

Calf edema is commonly caused by glomerulonephritis or lower-limb thrombosis; the precise underlying cause can be determined through comprehensive medical evaluation at a hospital. If glomerulonephritis is confirmed, medications such as valsartan or olmesartan medoxomil may be prescribed under physician guidance. If lower-limb thrombosis is diagnosed, antiplatelet agents such as clopidogrel may be prescribed per medical advice. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity in the short term.
