A physician calls the laboratory and asks what lab tests should be requested to assess the acid-base balance function of a patient's renal system. You reply:
1) Serum rennin and erythropoietin
2) Serum creatinine, serum urea, serum uric acid, and creatinine clearance
3) Serum bilirubin (conjugated and total), urine urobilinogen
4) Serum bicarbonate and blood pH

Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer. His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body. What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate?
(Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected. Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate).
Group of answer choices
A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate.
B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate.
C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate.
D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate.
E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.
Regarding the glomerulus:
A) Intracapsular pressure and colloid osmotic pressure act to hold serum in the glomerulus
B) Only glomerular capillary pressure and net hydrostatic pressure push serum out of the glomerulus and intracapsular pressure and colloid osmotic pressure act to hold serum in the glomerulus
C) Glomerular capillary pressure and net hydrostatic pressure push serum out of the glomerulus
D) All of these answers are correct
E) The net filtration pressure is normally 10mmHg
