During a renal clearance test, the plasma concentration of inulin is \(0.12\ \text{g/L}\) and its urine concentration is also \(0.12\ \text{g/L}\). The urine flow rate is \(1.2\ \text{mL/min}\). (a) Calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the clearance formula \(C = \dfrac{U \times V}{P}\). (b) Given a plasma glucose concentration of \(5\ \text{mmol/L}\) and a urine glucose concentration of \(0.5\ \text{mmol/L}\), determine the percentage of filtered glucose that is reabsorbed.

Answer Options

A. GFR = 12 mL/min; 90% reabsorbed
Correct Answer B. GFR = 1.2 mL/min; 90% reabsorbed
C. GFR = 1.2 mL/min; 80% reabsorbed
D. GFR = 1.5 mL/min; 90% reabsorbed
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
GFR = 1.2 mL/min; 90% reabsorbed
