Question
a 23 - year - old male patient presents with lab results that shows a decreased gfr, what organ is most likely involved?
a) gallbladder
b) bone
c) liver
d) kidney
e) heart
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is a key measure of kidney function. A decreased GFR indicates impaired kidney function as the kidneys are responsible for filtering blood to form urine. The gallbladder stores bile, the bone is for support and hematopoiesis, the liver has functions like metabolism and detoxification, and the heart pumps blood. None of these other organs' main functions are directly related to GFR.
