filtration


At which sites would the concentration of creatinine be expected to be highest? (Note: assume the person is normally hydrated.)
A. glomerular filtrate
B. end of the proximal tubule
C. end of the loop of Henle
D. urine
E. the concentration would be the same in all of the above, since creatinine is neither secreted or reabsorbed
D. Remember that creatinine is filtered but neither reabsorbed nor secreted (approximately), so creatinine concentration depends on the amount of water remaining. The volume of urine is less that the volume of fluid at any of the other sites listed.
