an increase in intracellular or extracellular water(passive) is caused byBrain edema
The brain cells then retain waterresultingin brain edema
kidney function and water retention ... both of whichcan causeedema of the brain
These water shifts have traditionally been thoughtto contributeto brain edema
Impaired cerebral autoregulation in the presence of hypoxic cerebral vasodilation and altered permeability of the blood - brain barrier due to hypoxia - induced chemical mediators like histamine , arachidonic acid , and VEGFmay all contributeto brain edema
