Which alterations can lead to edema?
A) Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure
B) Increased capillary colloid osmotic pressure
C) Decreased lymphatic flow
D) Decreased capillary membrane permeability

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphatic obstruction prevents the drainage of accumulated interstitial fluid and proteins,which can lead to severe edema.Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure would push less fluid into the interstitial space.Increased capillary colloid osmotic pressure would remove fluid from the interstitial space.Decreased capillary membrane permeability would allow less fluid movement into the interstitial space.
