liver failure plasma proteins



Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and increased the swelling that accompanies
inflammation capillary permeability



Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to the generalized edema that occurs in
severe kidney disease increased blood volume; possibly caused by/due to
decreased capillary osmotic pressure due to
protein- wasting kidney disease


increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to swelling of the ankles that often happens at the end of the
day or after prolonged the effects of gravity standing



increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and increased swelling that occurs following multiple tooth
extractions capillary permeability caused by/due to inflammation



obstruction of lymphatic circulation or increased capillary edema that may accompany
cancer hydrostatic pressure if blood vessels are compressed



increased capillary permeability and loss of plasma edema that accompanies
burns proteins



increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by/due to edematous hands and ankles that sometimes accompany
excessive ingestion of increased water retention sodium



loss of plasma proteins caused by/due to decreased the abdominal swelling that occurs with
