← Human Body & HealthWhich effect occurs when decreased tubular fluid flow disrupts renal electrolyte balance?
A)Increased proximal sodium reabsorption✓
B)Increased potassium excretion overall
C)Decreased systemic renin release
D)Increased distal chloride secretion
💡 Explanation
Compromised distal tubular flow reduces delivery signals. Therefore, increased proximal sodium reabsorption ensues because tubuloglomerular feedback decreases due to diminished solute presentation in the loop of Henle, rather than the reverse happening or other electrolytes shifting.
