This causes a decrease in the sensitivity of tubuloglomerular feedback, which, in turn, results in an increased glomerular filtration rate.
32.
A global assessment of renal function is often ascertained by estimating the rate of filtration, called the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
33.
Higher levels of creatinine indicate a lower glomerular filtration rate and as a result a decreased capability of the kidneys to excrete waste products.
34.
Tenofovir is mainly excreted via the kidneys, both by glomerular filtration and by tubular secretion using the transport proteins OAT1, OAT3 and ABCC4.
35.
The bulk of the urea, about 10 g each day, is excreted by the kidney in a process that begins with glomerular filtration.
36.
Renal excretion occurs by both glomerular filtration and tubular secretion as evidenced by the high rate of renal clearance ( approximately 275 mL / min ).
37.
The long-term goal for these three projects is to define the molecular mechanisms of glomerular filtration and protein absorption under normal and pathogenic conditions.
38.
The serum creatinine concentration can be used to estimate the function of the kidney, called the creatinine clearance or estimated glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
39.
Glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) is equal to the Clearance Rate when any solute is freely filtered and is neither reabsorbed nor secreted by the kidneys.
40.
Transgenic mice in which the beta 2 chain gene was inactivated by homologous recombination, showed defects in the maturation of neuromuscular junctions and impairment of glomerular filtration.
