Interstitial H. pressure
Interstitial oncotic pressure

CHP & IOP = move water out of capillarier
POP & IHP = move water into capillaries
CHP> POP at arterial: fluid move inot interstitium space from plasma
CHP<POP at venous: fluid move back into capillaries due to plasma protein
What cause shift of plasma move into interstitial fluid?
Venous hydrostasis pressure rises; plasma Oncotic pressure decrease and interstitial pressure rise.

ATCH = anterior pituitary that act directly to adrenal cortex to suppress the release of aldosterone.

Decrease Aldosterone lead to decrease renal perfusion or decrease Na deliver to distal tubules.
