Medical students are studying the clearance of inulin by the kidneys on a computer- simulated patient. The professor programs the computer so that the patient’s ratio of urinary concentration to plasma concentration of inulin ([U/P] inulin) decreases. Which of the following is true if the glomerular filtration rate remains constant?
(A) Aldosterone levels have increased
(B) Inulin clearance has decreased
(C) Positive free water clearance has decreased
(D) Reabsorption of inulin has increased
(E) Urine flow rate has increased
