Edema is the physiological condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive interstitial fluid & this fluid shifts due to the increased capillary hydrostatic pressure as well as due to disruption of the physical structure of capillary microstructures/pores, more specifically in the microvascular membrane of the capillaries. Edema also includes the leakage of watery content from blood capillaries, as a result of increased blood vessel permeability referring the inflammation or due to obstruction of fluid clearance as well as developing the fluid retention. Other factors responsible for such fluid shifting are the fluid volume, disease condition, mechanical injury, trauma and levels of sodium and other ionic content of the fluid.

Explain the factors that influence fluid shifts at the capillary level.
12. Explain how hydrostatic pressure maintains fluid balance in the body. 13. Explain what is meant by isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions and how, when each is administered, each controls fluid balance. 14. List the patient populations that are at risk for deficient fluid volume; populations that are at risk for over hydration?
Check for edema: how? Explain:
Which fluid is more likely going to be affected by major fluid shifts such as vomiting?
4. Capillaries are by far the most common type of blood vessel in the body, and most capillaries are very porous-they leak fluid. Blood is mostly fluid. The swelling caused by fluids leaking from the blood into tissues is known as edema. Predict where in the body you would see edema related to left-sided heart failure, and where you would see edema related to right-sided heart failure. Be sure to explain your answers.
How would you explain to an individual the role of protein in the development of edema
