As a result of continuous starvation the glomerular filtration rate has increased by 20%. The most probable cause of the glomerular filtration alteration under the mentioned conditions is:
- A. Increase in the systemic arterial pressure
- B. Increase in the permeability of the renal filter
- C. Increase of the renal blood flow
- D. Increase of the filtration quotient
- E. Decrease in the oncotic pressure of blood plasma
Hint
Think about which force opposing filtration across the glomerular capillaries is altered when starvation lowers the body's protein stores.
