Fluid loss from the peritoneal cavity to surrounding tissue varies directly with intraperitoneal hydrostatic pressure (Pip). According to Darcy’s law [Q= −KA(dPif/dx)], fluid flux (Q) across a cross-sectional area (A) of tissue will increase with an increase in either hydraulic conductivity (K) or the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure gradient (dPif/dx, wherexis distance). Previously, we demonstrated that in the anterior abdominal muscle (AAM) of rats, dPif/dxincreases by only 40%, whereasKrises fivefold between Pipof 1.5 and 8 mmHg. BecauseKis a function of interstitial volume (θif), we hypothesized that perturbations of Pipwould change Pifand expand the interstitium, increasing θif. To test this hypothesis, we used dual-label quantitative autoradiography (QAR) to measure extracellular fluid volume (θec) and intravascular volume (θiv) in the AAM of rats within the Piprange from −2.8 to +8 mmHg. θifwas obtained by subtraction (θec− θiv). dPif/dxwas measured with a micropipette and a servo-null system. Local θivdid not vary with Pipand averaged 0.010 ± 0.002 ml/g, and θifaveraged 0.19 ± 0.01 ml/g at Pif≤1.2 mmHg. However, θifdoubled between Pifof 1.2 and 4.2 mmHg (from 0.20 ± 0.00 to 0.39 ± 0.01 ml/g, respectively) but did not increase with further increases in Pif. This nonlinear pressure-volume relationship does not explain the fivefold increase inKwith Pip. Because the interstitial matrix contributes to the interstitial resistance to fluid flow, and because hyaluronan (HA) is the only component of the matrix that is not anchored to the tissue, we hypothesized that the loss of interstitial HA was responsible for the continued decrease in interstitial resistance to fluid flow. We determined HA concentration in the rat AAM and adjacent subcutaneous tissue (SC) at Pip= 0 mmHg and after 2 h of dialysis at constant Pip= 6 mmHg. The HA content (normalized to dry weight) in the AAM was reduced from 487 ± 16 to 360 ± 27 μg/g dry tissue (n= 4,P< 0.05) and increased from 528 ± 72 to 1,050 ± 136 mg/g dry tissue (n= 4,P> 0.001) in the SC. We conclude that the mechanisms responsible for the increase inKwith Pipinclude expansion of the interstitium, dilution of interstitial macromolecules, and washout from the AAM to SC of interstitial macromolecules responsible for resistance to fluid flow.
