Determine the effects on fluid movement and capillary net filtration pressure (NFP) when a liver disorder prevents adequate formation of plasma proteins, such as albumin
What will be an ideal response?
When the liver fails, production of plasma proteins decreases and colloid osmotic pressure decreases. NFP remains positive since hydrostatic pressure is greater than colloid osmotic pressure. Fluids are pushed from the capillary into the interstitial fluid of the abdomen, known as ascites.
