Physiology Excretory System (Kidney, Bladder) Acid-Base Balance 1b75ee6b

GFR will be increased if:

A
Increased hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule
B
Decreased oncotic pressure in glomerular capillaries
C
Increased oncotic pressure in glomerular capillaries
D
Decreased hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries
High-Yield Explanation
Starling's forces acting at the glomerulus are as follows : (1) Factors oring filtration - Glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure - If it decreases, GFR would decrease. (Option D) Bowman's capsule oncotic pressure (2) Factors opposing filtration - Plasma colloid oncotic pressure - If this pressure decreases, GFR would increase. Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure - (option A) If this pressure increases, GFR would decrease.
