Abstract

The pioneering work of Starling (1896) described the factors determining the transmural filtration of fluid and these physical forces are called Starling forces and the equation may be presented as:

$$Q = K(Pc - Pt) - \sigma (\pi c - \pi t)$$

where Q is the filtration rate across the capillary membrane, K is the capillary filtration coefficient, and a is the reflection coefficient. Pc, Pt, πc and πt are the capillary hydrostatic, interstitial hydrostatic, capillary oncotic and interstitial oncotic pressures respectively.
