Edema has many possible causes: 1  Prolonged standing or sitting, especially in hot weather, can cause excess fluid to accumulate in the feet, ankles and lower legs. 2  Tiny valves inside the veins of the legs can become weakened, causing a common problem called venous insufficiency.
The most common types that cause excessive knee fluid are: 1  Osteoarthritis - the natural wear and tear of the cartilage around the knee due to aging. 2  Rheumatoid arthritis - a chronic inflammation of the joints due to an autoimmune disease. 3  Gout - a type of arthritis where a patient's nutritional intake may cause uric acid to build up in the joints.
