Which condition leads to an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?

Show Answers

Elevated plasma oncotic pressureReduction in glomerular hydrostatic pressureRise in tubular hydrostatic pressureEnhanced renal blood flowDecreased afferent arteriole diameter

Explanation

An increase in renal blood flow raises glomerular hydrostatic pressure, which in turn elevates the glomerular filtration rate. Conversely, higher plasma oncotic pressure, reduced glomerular hydrostatic pressure, or increased tubular hydrostatic pressure tend to lower GFR.
