Which of the following factors will increase the net filtration pressure to move fluid out of capillaries?
A) decreased plasma albumin
B) increased blood hydrostatic pressure
C) increased tissue hydrostatic pressure
D) both decreased plasma albumin and increased blood hydrostatic pressure
E) increased plasma albumin and decreased blood hydrostatic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure is determined by the balance of hydrostatic and oncotic pressures. Decreased plasma albumin decreases oncotic pressure, favoring filtration out of capillaries. Increased blood hydrostatic pressure directly increases the force pushing fluid out of capillaries. Both factors work together to increase net filtration pressure.
