6. A decrease in blood albumin level will cause a decrease in blood colloid osmotic pressure. This will lead to a rise in the net glomerular filtration pressure. Are these two statements true or false?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both statements are true.

Explanation:

Albumin is a type of globular protein present in the blood plasma. This albumin protein maintains the blood colloid osmotic pressure and may also affect the net glomerular filtration pressure.

Various factor can lead to the low level of albumin in blood like inflammation and malnutrition. The decrease in blood albumin can decrease the blood colloid osmotic pressure. The decrease in blood colloid osmotic pressure can increase the net glomerulation filter pressure because the net movement of the fluid occurs towards the low pressure.

Thus, the answer is true.
