The determinants of glomerular ultrafiltration: they are glomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, intracapillary oncotic pressure, and ultrafiltration coefficient. The significant drop in capillary hydraulic pressure leads to:
|
|
Glomeruloesclerosis
|
|
|
acute kidney injury
|
|
|
Increased nitric oxide
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In this population-based study, we examined factors associated with glomerular filtration rates (GFR) in both genders. The findings of our study showed that obesity, diabetes, blood urea nitrogen, atherogenic factor, hypertension, meat consumption, and smoking were associated with lower GFR.
Detailed explanation-2: -The forces that govern filtration in the glomerular capillaries are the same as any capillary bed. Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc) and Bowman’s space oncotic pressure (i) favor filtration into the tubule, and Bowman’s space hydrostatic pressure (Pi) and capillary-oncotic pressure (c) oppose filtration.
