Identify the INCORRECT statement regarding the fundamental causes of edema.
Capillary reabsorption does not depend on oncotic pressure.
Since albumin is produced by the liver, liver diseases such as cirrhosis tend to lead to hypoproteinemia and edema.
Obstruction of lymphatic vessels can interfere with fluid drainage and lead to the accumulation of tissue fluid distal to the obstruction.
A deficiency of albumin (hypoproteinemia) produces edema by reducing the reabsorption of tissue fluid.
Kidney failure leads to water retention and hypertension, thus raising capillary blood pressure and filtration rate.
