It would depend on how much fluid was in your vasculature. You could have a net excess of fluid, with either too much or just the right amount in your vessels and some in your dependent soft tissues, or too little circulating volume (intravascular volume depletion) but still have oedema. A lot of factors come into play such as protein levels, how leaky your capillaries are, heart or liver problems and many more. We're complicated!
