Lymph does not clot. Therefore if damage to the main lymphatic trunks in the thorax as a result of penetrating injury, the flow of lymph must be stopped surgically or death ensues. It is impossible to maintain adequate plasma protein concentration by dietary means if significant loss of lymph continues over time. As lymph is lost, rapid emaciation occurs, with a progressive and eventually fatal decrease in total blood fat and protein concentration.
