Cutting and pasting
Sorry, had some edit conflicts. Matt, please be sure any cut-and-paste material either is within your professional expertise or sourced; I haven't found all of it to be reliable. Howard C. Berkowitz 01:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Example of needing sourcing and context; also perhaps separation of dx and tx
I removed the material below until:
- There is sourcing of the diagnostic techniques
- There is a more specific definition of yellow nail syndrome in this context
- The "first signs" are reconciled with comorbidities, such as cleft palate, which may occur well before lymphedema
- Decongestive treatment is defined, and it is made clear why this is under the specific condition if it is used in all cases.
and the first signs of the condition are a swelling below the waist, red patches on the skin, inflammation and discomfort. Again, this hereditary lymphedema is diagnosed by observing the swelling and the family history confirming the verdict. Some other hints could be yellow nail syndrome or pulmonary hypertension. As with all other lymphedema treatments, decongestive therapy is the ideal choice here as well. Treatment must be started at the initial phase of the condition.
