| 31. | Abnormal ranges of the fractional excretion of sodium can imply acute tubular necrosis or glomerular dysfunction.
|
| 32. | This increases pressure in glomerular capillaries.
|
| 33. | His main interests are in renal microcirculatory physiology, glomerular inflammation, and renal vascular disease.
|
| 34. | Nitrate is cleared from the plasma by the kidney at rates approaching the rate of glomerular filtration.
|
| 35. | Decreased perlecan in the glomerular basement membrane has a central role in the development of diabetic albuminuria.
|
| 36. | Pathologic examination reveals the typical lesion of " hyperfiltration nephropathy " namely, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis.
|
| 37. | Elliott had focal segmental glomerular sclerosis, which prevents the kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood.
|
| 38. | The glomerular filtrate next moves to the renal tubule, where it is further processed to form urine.
|
| 39. | Magnesium is excreted solely by the kidneys at a rate proportional to the plasma concentration and glomerular filtration.
|
| 40. | In the kidney, approximately 250 mmol of calcium ions are filtered into the glomerular filtrate per day.
