Cardiogenic pulmonary edema

Caused by intravascular fluid overload, hydrostatic pressure increases. This causes fluids to leak into the extravascular space.

Permeability pulmonary edema

Vascular permeability is increased by an inflammatory reaction caused, for example, by sepsis. This leads to the increased transfer of fluids, electrolytes and proteins from the intravascular to the extravascular space, even with a normal to low intravascular fluid status and hydrostatic pressure.
