Which statement identifies two blood indicators of renal dysfunction and best explains why they can be as such?
A) Increased urea and creatinine levels in the blood indicate the inability of the kidney to filter creatinine and urea.
B) Glucose in urine and complete blood count elevations indicate the kidney's inability to produce red blood cells.
C) pH and specific gravity elevation indicate kidney dysfunction because an increase in solutes prevents the kidney from filtering correctly.
D) Albumin and acetone decreases indicate that the kidney is unable to reabsorb these in the loop of Henle.
