Question

Due to insufficient filtration in the Bowman's all are likely to happen except:

• A. Accumulation of fluid in the body
• B. Increase in blood pressure
• C. Increase in blood urea level
• D. Loss of glucose through urine

Answer 1

The correct option is D Loss of glucose through urine

Insufficient filtration in the bowman's capsule increases the blood volume due to the accumulation of fluid as extra water is not excreted through urine. The increase in blood volume in turns increases arterial pressure. Insufficient filtration also increases the level of urea, uric acid, creatinine, salts and water in the blood. But insufficient filtration does not lead to loss of glucose in the urine, in fact, this glucose remains in the blood when got unfiltered. Loss of glucose in the urine may take place due to insufficient re-absorption but not due to insufficient filtration. Therefore, the option (D) is correct.
