What causes increased capillary filtration rate in inflamed tissue?

💡 Explanation

Inflammation increases capillary permeability, allowing plasma proteins to leak into the interstitial space. This elevation in proteins within the interstitial fluid raises the osmotic pressure inside the capillary, causing increased filtration, because fluid follows the protein. Therefore, increased capillary permeability, rather than other pressure changes, directly drives the elevated filtration rate.
