Reduction in the concentration of albumin in blood plasma would alter capillary exchange by . A) increasing hydrostatic pressure and edema will occur B) decreasing colloid osmotic pressure and edema will occur C) increasing hydrostatic pressure and blood volume, blood pressure increases D) decreasing colloid osmotic pressure and blood volume, blood pressure increases

The correct answer is - option B.

Explanation:

Albumin is the major plasma protein present in the blood that play major roles in the body as it helps in preventing leakage of the fluids, provide amino acids to various tissues, helps in blood clotting and many  more.

Reduction in the concentration of albumin in blood plasma leads to change in the capillary exchange by lowering or reducing the colloid osmotic pressure and edema will takes place. Water be less attracted by the albumin that leads to the retention of the water around the cells.

Thus, the correct answer is : option D.
