Bench-to-bedside review: The role of the alveolar epithelium in the resolution of pulmonary edema in acute lung injury
Clearance of pulmonary edema fluid is accomplished by active ion transport, predominantly by the alveolar epithelium. Various ion pumps and channels on the surface of the alveolar epithelial cell generate an osmotic gradient across the epithelium, which in turn drives the movement of water out of th...
