To determine: among HPg, OPg, or HPc, is affected in an individual with cirrhosis of the liver.
Concept introduction: Filtrate is produced due to the difference between the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the glomerulus and the opposing pressure of both the osmotic blood pressure and the fluid pressure in the capsular space of the renal corpuscle.
To determine: Whether net filtration pressure would increase or decrease in an individual with liver cirrhosis, and to find out whether more or less filtrate will be formed.
Concept introduction: Filtrate is produced due to the difference between the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the glomerulus and the opposing pressure of both the osmotic blood pressure and the fluid pressure in the capsular space of the renal corpuscle.
