Many causes : Excluding renal problems, generalized edema can be caused by many conditions: congestive heart failure , liver failure[, although that usually spares the arms], lymphedema [lymphema may effect only one to all 4 limbs and the torso] , hypothyroidism , and low protein states including protein malnutrition, and finally venous insufficiency.
