Which of the following chemical substances in the blood normally cannot pass during glomerular filtration?
A) simple sugars
B) electrolytes
C) proteins
D) uric acids
C) proteins
Proteins in the blood normally cannot pass during glomerular filtration. This process occurs at the glomerulus of the kidney tubule. Drugs are forced through pores of capillary walls, then into the tubular urine. However, blood cells and large molecules such as proteins cannot undergo this process due to their size. Therefore, drugs bound to albumin remain in the blood.
