If a patient has a renal disorder leading to proteinurea, which of the following situations would this patient need to be concerned with? An increase in the plasma colloid osmotic pressure leading to pulmonary edema. An increase in the plasma colloid osmotic pressure leading to excessive reabsorption. A decrease in the plasma colloid osmotic pressure leading to pulmonary edema. An increase in capillary pressure leading to pulmonary edema. A decrease in the plasma colloid osmotic pressure leading to excessive reabsorption.

If a patient has cirrhosis of the liver and is unable to produce sufficient albumin and other plasma proteins, then what variable is changed in capillary exchange, and what is the effect? a. There is no change in the capillary exchange process. b. Hydrostatic pressure in the blood decreases, and fluid remains in the blood. c. Colloid osmotic pressure in the capillary increases, and blood volume increases in the blood vessels. d. Colloid osmotic pressure in the capillary decreases, and fluid remains in the interstitial fluid, potentially causing edema.
