Question

How do you account for the increase in the protein concentration from the arterial blood to the postglomerular blood?

Answer 1

unless u have protein losing conditions like nephrotic syndrome u dont loose proteins in urine.
but water and various other solutes are filtered by urine.
so protein net amount remains the same....but water content decreases.
so more proteins concentrated per unit of blood?

Answer 2

it is for a lab, and that is what it said. So do you know why it would be that way?

Answer 3

I would think that you would just use a spectrophotometer to make a standard curve, out of a serial dilution using amylase (that is what I use when making standard curves), then find the absorbance of both the atrial and postglomerual blood.... then use the absorbance of the bloods to plug back into the equation of your Std. curve to find the concentration of the proteins
Hope this helped!
