Insufficient Lymphatic System – Dynamic Insufficiency
Insufficient Lymphatic System (TC < LL) 3 Forms Dynamic, mechanical, and mixed insufficiency are terms used to describe different types of lymphatic system dysfunction. While all three types affect the lymphatic system, they have varying causes, symptoms, and characteristics. 1. Dynamic Insufficiency (most common) Dynamic Insufficiency (high-volume)
