As a result of long-term starvation the glomerular filtration of a man was accelerated by 20%. The most probable cause of filtration changes under such conditions is:
- A. Increase of renal plasma flow
- B. Increased permeability of renal filter
- C. Rise of systemic arterial pressure
- D. Fall of oncotic pressure of blood plasma
- E. Growth of filtration coefficient
Hint
Think about what prolonged lack of dietary protein does to plasma proteins, and therefore to one of the forces opposing glomerular filtration.
