Which statement about renal clearance is accurate?

Show Answers

Creatinine clearance reflects the glomerular filtration rate.The clearance rate of inulin is less than that of urea.Chloride levels increase following aldosterone administration.PAH clearance continues to increase with rising plasma PAH levels.

Explanation

Creatinine clearance is used to estimate glomerular filtration rate. Inulin clearance is actually higher than urea clearance. Aldosterone affects sodium and potassium balance more than chloride levels. The clearance of PAH rises with increasing plasma PAH concentration because it is secreted by the renal tubules until saturation.
