- Answer:A.osmotic pressure of the tubular filtrate
i'm not sure if this is what u were asking sins u didn't give answer choices but from the research i did this is what i found. hope this helps.
Explanation:
- Hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure are two opposing forces that regulate fluid movement between capillaries and the tissues that surround them. Hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by a liquid on the walls of its container. Accordingly, the hydrostatic pressure of blood, or blood pressure (BP), is the force exerted by blood on the vessel walls. This pressure pushes fluid through capillary wall pores and into the interstitial fluid (the extracellular fluid surrounding cells of a tissue). The kidneys regulate BP by increasing water reabsorption (thereby increasing blood volume and, consequently, BP) when BP is low and by decreasing water reabsorption when BP is high.
- In contrast, osmotic pressure causes a solution to take in water by osmosis, the passive movement of water molecules from an area of low to an area of high solute concentration. Osmotic pressure increases as solute concentration (osmolarity) increases. When blood osmolarity is high, the kidneys respond by increasing water reabsorption and decreasing solute reabsorption. Conversely, when blood osmolarity is low, the kidneys react by decreasing water reabsorption and increasing solute reabsorption.
- The passage states that SGLTs transport glucose out of the proximal tubule so it can be returned to circulation through the peritubular capillaries. Administration of a SGLT inhibitor prevents glucose reabsorption, increasing solute concentration within the tubule and consequently increasing the osmotic pressure of the tubular filtrate. As a result, water is drawn back into the renal tubule, increasing urine output.
