Revised Starling Equilibrium and the Endothelial Glycocalyx: Why Are We Still Getting This Wrong?
Groundbreaking evidence that changed our fundamental understanding of fluid dynamics at the capillary was published in 1999 (1), However, the 'old' model, where most interstitial fluid was thought to be resorbed at the venous end of the capillary, is still being taught in most lymphatic programs, and even Chat GPT gets it wrong! This post reviews the Starling Equilibrium and the Endothelial Glycocalyx and highlights the importance of understanding fluid dynamics in lymphedema management.
The Cost of NOT doing MLD in Phase 2 Lymphoedema Management.
