Edema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial space. One cause of edema is reduced concentrations of plasma protein, which reduce colloid osmotic pressure (Πcap). This oncotic pressure problem can result from liver disease, since the liver normally synthesizes many of the plasma proteins. Other causes of edema are increased capillary permeability to proteins (decreased σ) and increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pcap). In all of these situations, Jv increases, and the tendency for fluid movement into the interstitium is favored.
