Question

Which of the following will lead to an increase in glomerular fluid filtration in the kidney?

• A. An increase in the protein concentration in the plasma
• B. An increase in the fluid pressure in Bowman's space.
• C. An increase in the glomerular capillary blood pressure.
• D. A decrease in the glomerular capillary blood pressure.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

An increase in the glomerular capillary blood pressure.

The main driving force favouring fluid filtration from the glomerular capillary to Bowman's space is glomerular capillary blood pressure($P_{GC}$).

So the correct option is C.
