Oncotic Pressure
Oncotic pressure
, also known as
colloid
osmotic pressure
, is the form of
osmotic pressure
exerted by proteins, notably albumin, in a
blood vessel's plasma
that tends to pull water into the
circulatory system
. It plays a crucial role in maintaining
fluid balance
across
capillary membranes
, counteracting
hydrostatic pressure
to prevent
excessive fluid loss
from the blood vessels into the
interstitial space
.
