Question

A malnourished person might have abnormally low levels of plasma proteins. As a result, colloid osmotic pressure: decreases, and so blood volume is abnormally high increases, and there is fluid retention in the interstitial spaces decreases, and there is fluid retention in the interstitial space increases, and so blood volume is abnormally high
