Accumulation of interstitial fluid associated next to hypothyroidism?

This is a crosswordAccumulation of interstitial fluid associated next to hypothyroidism?
Edema? Effusion?
yup. pulmonary edema.
hypothyroidism will lead to fade away of production of lung surfactant which line the alveoli.
lung surfactant are responsible to trim down the surface tension of the fluid inside layer the alveoli, which the net pressure rise will make the fluid reabsorb backbone into the blood.
deficiency of lung surfactant will craft more fluid filtered into the alveoli ascendant to accumulation of fluid.
