Evaluation of the Starling Fluid Flux Equation

AE Taylor and MI Townsley

It is commonly thought that fluid is filtered in the arterial and is absorbed in the venous end of the capillary, cuased by the considerable hydrostatic pressure difference between the arterial and the venous end, while the transcapillary colloid osmotic pressure difference remains nearly constant. We now know that extravascular forces, i.e., tissue fluid pressure, tissue colloid osmotic pressure, and lymph flow, are dynamic factors that change to oppose transcapillary fluid movement. Therefore, the filtration-absorption theory will apply only transiently until the tissue forces readjust.
