Q

what is an example of hydrostatic pressure increasing due to back up of blood flow?

A

DVT might obstruct venous blood flow, resulting in higher than normal pressure at the venous end

Q

what is the reason for there being a lack of capillary oncotic pressure to pull fluid back into the interstitial space into the capillary at the venous end?

Q

how does increased interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure cause fluid imbalance at the capillary level?

A

solutes escape from the vessel into the interstitial fluid, they take fluid with them and hold on to that fluid I the interstitial space - increasing interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure
