Abstract

Several conflicting theories have been proposed to explain the devlopment of oedema. Pulse reverse osmosis (PRO) suggests that oedema occurs when the mean pulse capillary pressure exceeds the osmotic gradient between the plasma and the interstitial fluid. In order to test this concept mean arterial blood pressures and colloid osmotic pressures were taken in a group of healthy volunteers, a group of patients with bilateral ankle oedema and a group of treated hypertensives. Patients with oedema were found to have colloid osmotic pressures (COP's) which were significantly less than those of the healthy volunteers (p

Abstract

Pulse reverse osmosis (1) is a new theory of fluid balance and exchange which suggests that the mean blood pressure and osmotic gradient control fluid balance and that the pulse controls fluid exchange. In vitro testing has confirmed some of the physico chemical principles underlying the theory (2). The hypothesis suggests a relationship between mean capillary blood pressure and osmotic gradient. Imbalance in this relationship can be related to the development of hypertension, hypotension, oedema and shock. In an attempt to test this concept mean blood pressures and colloid osmotic pressures were measured and compared in a group of 50 healthy human volunteers. The results suggest a curvilinear correlation between the mean blood pressure and the COP.
