Chronic renal failure results in changes in the body fluids which occur due to a  _____________(a) progressive increase in the number of functioning nephrons(b) progressive decrease in the number of functioning nephrons(c) progressive decrease in the number of functioning neurons(d) progressive increase in the number of functioning neurons

Answer» The correct option is (c) progressive decrease in the number of functioning neurons

The explanation is: Chronic renal failure results in changes in the body fluids which occur due to a progressive decrease in the number of functioning nephrons. With the decrease in functional nephrons, the clearance of urea, creatinine and other metabolic waste products will decrease proportionally. In consequence, the plasma concentrations of these substances will rise.
