Talk:Oncotic pressure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was under the impression that oncotic pressure is simply another name for "colloidal osmotic pressure." I thought it was defined as the osmotic pressure exerted by colloids in a solution.
Can anyone verify this?
I thought so too, but I'm not sure enough of it to change it --LasseFolkersen (talk) 10:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I changed it. It is definetly the same. Found more than one article on pubmed mentioning stuff like "plasma colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressure"... see for example this paper. --LasseFolkersen (talk) 10:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Is it really represented by the symbol for pi?
