| 21. | From three months of age onwards, a reduced glomerular filtration rate is detected, indicative of progressive renal failure.
|
| 22. | In cases of renal disease, glomerular filtration rate decreases, so nothing gets filtered as well as it normally would.
|
| 23. | The amount of filtrate produced every minute is called the glomerular filtration rate or GFR and amounts to 180 litres per day.
|
| 24. | Creatinine is removed from the blood chiefly by the kidneys, primarily by glomerular filtration, but also by proximal tubular secretion.
|
| 25. | Chronic kidney failure is measured in five stages, which are calculated using a patient s GFR, or glomerular filtration rate.
|
| 26. | Presentation of nephrotoxicity can appear as Fanconi syndrome, acute kidney injury, or decline of glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
|
| 27. | Reabsorption is also increased by volume contraction, reduced renal plasma flow as in congestive heart failure, and decreased glomerular filtration.
|
| 28. | This is likely due to constriction of the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus, resulting in decreased glomerular filtration rate and clearance.
|
| 29. | I know that it is theoretically possible for glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) to keep going up and up to infinity.
|
| 30. | When renal function, measured by the glomerular filtration rate, is persistently poor, dialysis and kidney transplantation may be treatment options.
