Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edema is favored by conditions that increase fluid accumulation in tissues, such as reduced plasma albumin concentration (A), increased endothelial permeability (B), elevated capillary hydrostatic pressure (C), and decreased production of blood proteins due to liver damage (E). Increased interstitial fluid movement (D), however, implies enhanced fluid clearance from tissues, which does not favor edema formation.
