i haveNO idea:P
The capillary oncotic pressure is higher because of the plasma proteins trapped within the capillaries. The high oncotic pressure pulls the water from from the interstitium into the capillary.

oncotic pressure
In the blood plasma? it's a crucial component of it. Important as carriers and maintaining oncotic pressure.
The blood pressure in the capillaries at arterial end is about 25 to 30 mm of Mercury. The oncotic pressure of the plasma proteins is about 22 mm of mercury. So there is net force, which drives out the fluid in the interstitial space. The fluid is sucked back at the venous end of the capillaries by the oncotic pressure of the plasma proteins. It should be called as pressure gradient.
Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by water moving across a semipermeable membrane due to differences in solute concentration. Oncotic pressure, also known as colloid osmotic pressure, is the osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the blood plasma that helps to maintain fluid balance between the blood vessels and tissues.
Oncotic pressure is the pressure exerted by colloid particles. As colloid particles do NOT leave the blood vessels oncotic pressure is SAME in arteriole and venules.
Increased colloidal oncotic pressure, also known as oncotic pressure or osmotic pressure, is the pressure exerted by proteins in the blood vessels that helps to maintain fluid balance by drawing water from the tissues back into the blood. An increase in oncotic pressure can result from conditions such as dehydration or excessive protein intake, leading to fluid retention in the blood vessels.

The most important action of plasma albumins is maintaining oncotic pressure in the blood, which helps to retain water within the blood vessels and prevent fluid from leaking into tissues. Additionally, albumin acts as a carrier for various substances such as hormones, drugs, and fatty acids.
Edema in nephrotic syndrome occurs due to protein loss in the urine, leading to decreased plasma oncotic pressure. This causes fluid to shift into the interstitial spaces, resulting in swelling, particularly in dependent areas such as around the eyes (periorbital edema).
A decrease in plasma protein concentration can reduce the oncotic pressure in the blood vessels, leading to less water reabsorption in the kidneys and more water remaining in the filtrate. This increased water in the filtrate can increase the pressure in the glomerular capillaries, resulting in an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
