A 23-year-old man with diabetes mellitus has a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) significantly greater that normal, especially when he consumes excessive amounts of sweets. A decrease in which of the following parameters would tend to increase the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure?
(A) Afferent arteriolar resistance
(B) Bowman’s capsular hydrostatic pressure
(C) Capillary filtration coefficient
(D) Efferent arteriolar resistance
(E) Plasma colloid osmotic pressure
