What happens to the value of the NFP in question 18 if the HPg increases from 65 mm Hg to 75 mm Hg?
What happens to the value of the NFP in question 18 if the HPg increases from 65 mm Hg to 75 mm Hg?
The relationship of the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures, which drive fluid out of the capillary, is represented by the net filtration pressure (NFP). It's the difference between the CHP(capsular hydrostatic pressure) and the BCOP (blood colloid osmotic pressure).
The glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg) is subtracted from the blood colloid osmotic pressure (OPg) and the capsular hydrostatic pressure to get the net filtration pressure (NFP) (HPc). As a result, OPg and HPc are opposed to HPg. NFP will be high if HPg is high. Low HPg equates to low NFP. As a result, HPg is linked to NFP. As given in the question that HPg increases from 65 mm Hg to 75 mm Hg it means that the value of NFP still positive and because it is increases by 10mmHg.
NFP = HPg + HPc + OPg
