## Overview

[edit | edit source]

The risk factors in pulmonary edema refer to the risk factors for the underlying disease that cause pulmonary edema. Risk factors of cardinogenic pulmonary edema include high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, obesity. And risk factors for noncardiogenic pulmonary edema include sepsis, aspiration, pneumonia.
