A person with liver disease may lose the ability to synthesize plasma proteins. What will happen to the balance between filtration and reabsorption in his capillaries?
A. The balance will remain constant since baroreceptors in the medulla oblongata will stimulate the vasomotor inhibitory center.
B. Reabsorption will decrease because the loss of plasma proteins reduces blood colloid osmotic pressure. This will result in edema.
C. Reabsorption will increase because loss of plasma proteins favors reabsorption
D. Filtration will decrease since the blood flow through the liver decreases with cirrhosis.
