A patient whose colloid osmotic pressure is 15 mm Hg or less but has a normal blood volume is lacking

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The colloid osmotic pressure of blood is primarily regulated by albumins, which are the most abundant plasma protein. A low colloid osmotic pressure (<15 mmHg) indicates a deficiency of albumins, leading to decreased water retention and fluid leakage into tissues. However, this patient has a normal blood volume, implying that there is compensation from other regulating mechanisms to maintain a stable blood volume. The other choices (A, B, C, E) are not primarily involved in regulating colloid osmotic pressure or maintaining blood volume.
