Oedema develops when the capillary filtration rate exceeds the lymphatic drainage rate for a sufficient period of time.Interstitial fluid volume must double before it is clinically detectable 1 . Capillary filtrationFluid exchange across capillary walls is a passive process governed by the Starling principle:
