Sally is 8 months pregnant. At her doctor's visit today, her blood pressure was extremely elevated (190/110). The doctor sent her immediately to the hospital. When she was admitted, her urine was positive for large amounts of protein. What was the effect on the glomerular filtration rate of Sally's extremely elevated blood pressure?
(Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected. Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate).
