normovolemia
normal blood volume
hypovolemia
lower blood volume
hypervolemia
higher blood volume
fibrinogen
prime clotting protein
renal disease
decrease of albumin in the electrophoresis separation
Bacterial Infection
increase of y-globulin in the electrophoresis separation
when the liver dies
plasma protein levels decrease
If colloidal osmotic pressure increases
more water will flow into the plasma
If colloidal osmotic pressure decreases
more water will flow into the ISF
capillary bed
site where exchanges take place between plasma and ISF

accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial spaces
Factors that lead to Edema
Increase in Hydrostatic Pressure and Capillary Permeability.
Decrease in C.O.P.
No lymphatic drainage
kwashiorkor
sever protein malnutrition
elephantiasis
blockage of lymphatic drainage resulting from parasite (Filaria nematode) infestation
hematopoiesis
