Disturbances of lymphatic drainage develop in cases of lymph node involvement (inflammation, scarring, metastases, tumors), blood vessels (inflammation, compression, trauma, malformations), ducts (usually a fracture in the form of a rupture) or due to functional disorders in diseases of other organs and systems (allergy , phlebogertonia, renal, hepatic and cardiac failure, etc.). Disturbance of lymph drainage can be acute (temporary) and chronic.
