Sensitivity analysis describing the features of the lymphatic control on pleural liquid volume. Sensitivity analysis describing the features of the lymphatic control on pleural liquid volume. Point A corresponds to the physiological condition. The ordinate shows that pleural liquid volume would only be slightly increased when microvascular filtration is increased 10 times (point B) or when the maximum lymphatic flow is decreased to 1:10 of normal (point C). Outside the chequered area (point D) no lymphatic control is operating. G. Miserocchi Eur Respir Rev 2009;18:244-252 ©2009 by European Respiratory Society
