Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of diuretics in the treatment of swollen feet.
Introduction:
The blood plasma sometimes leaks out of the arteries and arterioles due to generated pressure in the blood vessels. The leaked out fluid accumulates in between the tissues and is known as interstitial fluid or tissue fluid. The tissue fluid maintains the fluid volume between the blood plasma and intracellular fluids of cells or tissues and it also represents the interaction between the arteriole blood and venous blood system.
