Imbalance

Question 1

what is a reason of why hydrostatic pressure would increase?

Answer 1

if there is any back up of blood flow

Question 2

what is an example of hydrostatic pressure increasing due to back up of blood flow?

Answer 2

DVT might obstruct venous blood flow, resulting in higher than normal pressure at the venous end

Question 3

any situation that results in decreased albumin results in what?

Answer 3

a decrease in capillary oncotic pressure

Question 4

what is the most prevalent colloid or solid in the plasma?

Answer 4

albumin

Question 5

what is the reason for there being a lack of capillary oncotic pressure to pull fluid back into the interstitial space into the capillary at the venous end?

Answer 5

albumin

Question 6

what are common diagnosis associated with low albumin?

Answer 6

burns, liver disease, malnutrition and excessive wound drainage

Question 7

how does increased interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure cause fluid imbalance at the capillary level?

Answer 7

solutes escape from the vessel into the interstitial fluid, they take fluid with them and hold on to that fluid I the interstitial space - increasing interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure
