Effects of haemorrhage on colloid osmotic pressure in the pigeon.
1. Colloid osmotic pressure, plasma osmolality and plasma protein concentration, percentage composition and A/G ratio were measured before and after haemorrhage in the pigeon. 2. Colloid osmotic pressure, total protein, albumin and beta-globulin concentrations decreased significantly immediately post-haemorrhage, but were significantly elevated after one week. 3. Osmolality and A/G ratio values were significantly increased post-haemorrhage. 4. The results are discussed in relation to fluid exchange across capillaries.
