Normal plasma colloid osmotic pressure
Disease description:
I’ve recently experienced some bodily edema, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. My doctor ordered a test for plasma colloid osmotic pressure. What is the normal range for plasma colloid osmotic pressure?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Guoqiang
The normal range of plasma colloid osmotic pressure is generally 280–310 mmHg. If a patient’s plasma colloid osmotic pressure falls below 280 mmHg, they typically experience physical discomfort and may develop edema. Conversely, if plasma colloid osmotic pressure exceeds 300 mmHg, it may occur in patients with severe dehydration or those receiving high-dose diuretic therapy.
