C)increased tubular solute load.
D)All of the above are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Severe hyperglycemia can induce all of the listed effects. Glucosuria occurs when the filtered load of glucose exceeds the renal capacity to reabsorb it, which can happen with very high blood glucose levels. Osmotic diuresis occurs when excess glucose is excreted in the urine, leading to increased osmotic pressure in the renal tubules and increased urine production. Increased tubular solute load can result from both glucosuria and osmotic diuresis, leading to increased workload on the renal tubules and potential tubular damage.
