Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2AYKA
Mr. Gupta has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by the loss of plasma proteins such as albumin into the urine. What impact will this have on his colloid osmotic pressure? How will this affect the net filtration pressure in his capillary beds? What effect will this likely cause?

Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they (a) have a larger area of anastomosis, (b) are derived from and drain into arterioles, (c) are not made of endothelium, (d) are sites of filtrate formation
What would be the impact of dysfunctional (leaky) glomerular basal lamina?What effect would this initially have on blood pressure?
Why is there much greater filtration through glomerular capillaries than through capillaries elsewhere in the body?
