COLLECTION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS OF PERIPHERAL LYMPH AND INTERSTITIAL FLUID IN MAN

WL Olszewski

Abstract


Methods used for collection and measurement of
physiological parameters of peripheral lymph and
interstitial fluid in man have been described, basing
on the experience of lymphological groups from
Warsaw and Oslo and on data from the relevant
literature. The review consists of description of
methods for chronic cannulation of leg lymphatics,
collection of lymph from skin lymphatic vessels,
measurement of peripheral lymph flow, lymph hydrostatic
and oncotic pressures, collection of interstitial
fluid with the capsular, liquid-paraffin cavity, wick
and skin window methods, interstitial fluid hydrostatic
and oncotic pressure measurement.
