Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is not the main force that pushes water and solutes out of the blood and through the filtration membrane. On the contrary, this pressure acts against the filtration membrane, making it difficult for water and solutes to escape from the blood.

Increasing this pressure decreases the infiltration rate and causes obstruction of the urinary tract that tends to accumulate urine, causing a lot of pain to the patient with Renal Failure.
