Hypertonic‐hyperoncotic solution increases canine lymph flows

Abstract

Hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution given intravenously as a single injection increased both thoracic and abdominal lymph flows in the initially normovolaemic animal.

Kinetics of 5% and 20% albumin: A controlled crossover trial in volunteers

“…The different patterns might reflect that the recruited fluid partly consisted of lymph, which contains globulins with oncotic properties 18 . The thoracic duct lymph flow is known to increase within minutes in response to hypertonic or hyper‐oncotic fluid 19–21 …”

“…18 The thoracic duct lymph flow is known to increase within minutes in response to hypertonic or hyper-oncotic fluid. [19][20][21] The second stage implies that 5% albumin recruits fluid from the extravascular compartment. This phase was most evident from 1 h and onward, after which the urinary flow was greater than the reduction in the plasma volume.…”
