Increased central venous pressure and increased extracellular fluid (ECF) volume both contribute to increased lymph flow. Increased central venous pressure can back up fluid in the tissues, leading to increased lymph production. Similarly, an increase in ECF volume results in more fluid that needs to be returned to the circulation, thus increasing lymph flow.
