albumin


Kidney inflammation may result in the appearance of albumin (a plasma protein) in the urine because
A. more albumin enters the proximal tubule in the glomerular filtrate
B. reabsorption of albumin from the proximal tubule is inhibited
C. secretion of albumin into the distal tubule and collecting ducts is increased
D. increased peritubular blood flow makes more albumin available for diffusion into the tubule
E. reduced active transport of sodium ion reduces cotransport of other substances, including albumin
A. Loss of the glomerular filtration barrier negative charge, characteristic of nephritis, leads to increased filtration of negatively-charged plasma proteins. If the protein filtered load exceeds the limited capacity of the renal tubules to reabsorb protein (Tm-Protein), the urine will contain plasma proteins.
