Albuminuria is Most Indicative Of

Question

Albuminuria is most indicative of
A) an enlarged pore size of the collecting duct membrane.
B) urinary incontinence.
C) increased pore size of the glomeruli
D) a deficiency of ADH and/or aldosterone.

Accepted Answer

Albuminuria indicates increased pore size of the glomeruli, allowing proteins like albumin to leak into the urine. Enlarged pore size of the collecting duct membrane is not associated with albuminuria. Urinary incontinence refers to the inability to hold urine and is not related to albuminuria. Deficiencies of ADH and/or aldosterone may affect urine concentration and electrolyte balance but are not directly related to albuminuria.
