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 exchange?
- A. Both filtration and reabsorption will be decreased
- B. Filtration will be decreased, reabsorption - increased
- C. Exchange will stay unchanged
- D. Filtration will be increased, reabsorption - decreased
- E. Both filtration and reabsorption will be increased
Hint
Use Starling's forces: ask what plasma proteins contribute to the pressure that holds fluid inside the capillary, and how a fall in their concentration shifts the balance at both ends.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
