The amount of glucose filtered is directly proportional to the plasma glucose concentration at all plasma glucose concentrations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true as per the renal physiology principles. The amount of glucose filtered is determined by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is directly proportional to the plasma glucose concentration. As the plasma glucose concentration increases, the GFR also increases, leading to higher filtered glucose load. However, this is limited by the renal threshold for glucose reabsorption (about 180 mg/dL), beyond which the excess glucose spills into the urine (glucosuria).
