Which of the following increases isomostic reabsorption in the proximal tubule? - Decreased plasma protein concentration - Increased peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure - Extracellular fluid expansion - Increased filtration fraction - Inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase, leading to decreased secondary active transport

Now let's analyze each option: - Decreased plasma protein concentration: This would not increase isosmotic reabsorption. Plasma proteins play a role in maintaining osmotic pressure, but they do not directly affect isosmotic reabsorption. - Increased peritubular Show more…
