VUMC Reporter Feature: Lipedema Imaging and Treatment
The VUMC Reporter recently highlighted a "unique collaboration" between three VUMC departments that is changing the diagnosis and treatment of lipedema.
Lipedema is a disorder of the lymphatic system, which plays a major role in removing excess water (edema) from body tissues. Too much fluid in the heart, for example, can lead to heart failure.
