The exchange between capillaries and the interstitial spaces are analysed using Wiederhielm's technique, and programmed in Basic language. The physiological variants represented are the hydrostatic pressures: arteriolar, venular and interstitial, and the oncotic, plasmatic and interstitial pressures. This technique enables us to analyses the relations between filtration, reabsorption. Plasmatic protein leaks, and lymphatic flux. It also enables us to simulate oedema of venous obstruction or lymphatic oedema, or protein deficiency oedema.
