It is not always possible to determine what causes low levels of amniotic fluid. Oligohydramnios can be caused by a continuous leaking of amniotic fluid. It can also occur when the fetus has kidney failure. After about four months of pregnancy, the kidneys of a normal fetus will produce the amniotic fluid. If the fetus has kidney abnormalities, the amount of amniotic fluid may be too low.
Edema may be caused by: 1  Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (as occurs when venous pressures become elevated by gravitational forces, volume expanded states, in heart failure or with venous obstruction)  Decreased plasma oncotic pressure (as occurs with hypoproteinemia)
