NUTRITION!: "Idiopathic" MEANS there is no "CAUSE" ..thus your question unfortunately really has NO answer!! However if you are not eating well and your serum PROTEINS are low this may be a reason for the "leakage" of fluid from your vascular system. You need (if you are otherwise healthy) a HIGH PROTEIN DIET... see a Nutritionist after consulting your doctor! Hope this helps Dr Z
