Edema has many possible causes: 1  Prolonged standing or sitting, especially in hot weather, can cause excess fluid to accumulate in the feet, ankles and lower legs. 2  Tiny valves inside the veins of the legs can become weakened, causing a common problem called venous insufficiency.
1 Heart failure can also cause swelling in your abdomen. 2  Sometimes it can cause fluid to accumulate in your lungs (pulmonary edema), which can lead to shortness of breath. 3  Cirrhosis. 4  Fluid may accumulate in your abdominal cavity (ascites) and in your legs as a result of liver damage (cirrhosis). 5  Kidney disease. In nephrotic syndrome, declining levels of protein (albumin) in your blood can lead to fluid accumulation and edema. 2  Weakness or damage to veins in your legs. 3  Chronic venous insufficiency, in which the one-way valves in your leg veins are weakened or damaged, allows blood to pool in the leg veins and cause swelling.
