Which of the following statement is false?(a) 20% to 25% of all sodium is reabsorbed into the bloodstream in the loop of Henle(b) 5% to 10% of sodium is reabsorbed in the distal tubules(c) 3% sodium is absorbed in collecting ducts(d) 50% of sodium is absorbed in the glomerulusI got this question in examination.My doubt is from Diuretics in section Applications of Pharmacokinetic Principles, Diuretics, Drug Concentration and Pharmacologic Response of Drug Biotechnology

Answer»

Right option is (d) 50% of SODIUM is absorbed in the glomerulus

The best I can explain: We are aware of the fact that where sodium goes water follows. 20-25% of all sodium is reabsorbed into the bloodstream in the loop of Henle. 5-10% gets reabsorbed in the distal tubes and 3% of the sodium gets reabsorbed in collecting ducts. Thus is sodium is not reabsorbed, water will also not GET reabsorbed thus MAKING water excreted as URINE.
