How is the Mitochondria associated with Edema ?

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

off the top of my head, damaged mitochondria create inflammation, which creates edema

[@joshuabowman7210]

So is there a way to test for such a thing ?

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

most of the tests for mitochondrial function are used in research. Not available in the clinical world but there are cellular health tests. However, many of those are "designer" tests that are likely not covered by insurance. This is an example of a test that would assess cellular health but is likely not covered by insurance: www.spectracell.com/micronutrient-test-panel
