In scope icon M 1 A
QID 214905 (Type "214905" in App Search)
A 51-year-old man is brought to the emergency department by ambulance with a 30-minute history of crushing substernal chest pain. He says that the pain began while he was lifting boxes at work and radiates from his chest down his left arm. His past medical history is significant for hypertension and diabetes, but he does not currently take any medications. On presentation, his temperature is 98.6°F (37°C), blood pressure is 105/61 mmHg, pulse is 108/min, and respirations are 22/min. Electrocardiogram reveals ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and AVF. His renal physiology parameters 2 weeks prior to this event were as follows:

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure: 60 mmHg
Bowman space hydrostatic pressure: 15 mmHg
Glomerular oncotic pressure: 21 mmHg
Bowman space oncotic pressure: 0 mmHg

Given the interim changes to this patient's physiologic state, which of the following is most likely this patient's current net filtration pressure?
