KROK 1 2011 – Question 90 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A patient is 44 years old. Laboratory examination of his blood revealed that content of proteins in plasma was 40 g/l. What influence will be exerted on the transcapillary water metabolism?
- A. Both filtration and reabsorption will be increased
- B. Filtration will be decreased, reabsorption - increased
- C. Filtration will be increased, reabsorption - decreased
- D. Both filtration and reabsorption will be decreased
- E. Metabolism will stay unchanged
Hint
Apply Starling forces: consider which pressure keeps water inside the capillary and what a plasma protein level far below normal does to the balance at the arterial and venous ends.
