Abstract

A new method for the measurement of the capillary filtration coefficient (CFC), which avoids the errors of the previous methods, is proven experimentally. By applying the method to the rabbit skeletal muscle it is shown that the value of the CFC in muscle (0.130 ml/min.mm Hg.100 g) is substantially higher than the corresponding values which are found in the literature (0.008 ml/min.mm Hg.100 g). The results in the presented paper leads to some new conclusions about the theory of microcirculation in tissue. The CFC can be used as an indicator for the diagnosis and treatment control of circulatory diseases.
