Key result
Dynamic modeling links edema to a permanent reversal of microvascular reabsorptive flow.
Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate microvascular exchange and interstitial fluid volume regulation in the rat using and extending a dynamic mathematical model to address alternative concepts and parametric changes.
Mathematical modeling of rat microvascular exchange demonstrates that edema is consistently associated with a permanent reversal of reabsorptive flow.

No immediate change to edema management; leaves open in vivo validation and therapeutic relevance.
Reed et al. (1989) studied Microvascular exchange and interstitial fluid volume regulation. Dynamic mathematical model was evaluated. A dynamic mathematical model demonstrated that the microvascular exchange system is well regulated near steady-state conditions, and edema is always associated with a permanent reversal of reabsorptive flow.
