Understanding Lymphatic Function in Early-Stage Lipedema
- In today’s episode, I discuss a study by researchers from Texas and Arizona, published in Obesity in April 2022.
- The study investigates lymphatic function and anatomy in the early stages of lipedema, prior to the onset of lipo-lymphedema.
- Using near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging with indocyanine green (ICG), the researchers explore whether lymphatic defects seen in early lymphedema also occur in early-stage lipedema.
