Dropsy [1]
drop´si ( ὑδρωπικός , hudrōpikós , "a man afflicted with húdrōps or dropsy"): Both forms of this disease occur in Palestine, that in which the limbs and body are distended with water called anasarca , depending generally on cardiac or renal disease, and the form confined to the abdomen, usually the result of liver infection. The latter is the commoner, as liver disease is a frequent result of recurrent attacks of malarial fever. The man was evidently able to move about, as he had entered into the Pharisee's house ( Luke 14:2 ).
