protein concentration
there are a variety of plasma proteins albumin, globul ins, fibrogen and other clotting proteins, enzymes and some hormones most plasma proteins are produced in the?
liver, others produced by leukocytes or other organs
plasma proteins exert _______ ________ pressure
colloid osmotic pressure
plasma proteins exert colloid osmotic pressure which prevents loss of?
fluid from the blood as it moves through capillaries. Helps maintain volume and pressure.
liver disease___________ production of plasma proteins. kidney disease____________ elimination of plasma proteins
liver disease increases production of plasma proteins
kidney disease increases elimination of plasma proteins. result in loss of fluid from blood and Tissue swelling

albumins
second largest group of plasma proteins?
globulin 37% plasma proteins.
