Could diseases that cause inflammation throughout the body also cause water retention?

Yes: As an example, cortisol is one of the stress hormones released during systemic inflammation; it can promote water retention.

Very possible: However, every disease is different. For instance autoimmune diseases cause fluid retention through causing kidney disease. Others could cause heart or liver disease, thereby, causing retention.
