MCQ

renal clearance of a substance is the VOLUME OF PLASMA from which that
substance is completely removed (cleared) per unit time.Inn that case following is

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

a false statement:

a) Renal clearance = GFR when No net reabsorption, secretion
b) Renal clearance = GFR when No net reabsorption

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

c) Renal clearance > GFR Net secretion

d) Renal clearance < GFR Net reabsorption

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

If a normal person has a plasma creatinine level 1 mg/dl that later

becomes 2 mg/dl, what happens to GFR?

Ans: 50% of the value of GFR at1 mg/dl.
