Examples of glomerular

glomerular
In preeclampsia the glomerular barrier is certainly altered and there is an increased excretion of protein including albumin.
In the kidney, blood flow, glomerular filtration and tubular function are all diminished.
The plasma creatinine concentration is not an accurate reflection of the glomerular filtration rate in stable transplant patients receiving cyclosporine.
As mentioned, the glomerular cell layers form a barrier to the passage of larger molecular weight substances like albumin.
However, it is not clear that these contacts are par t of glomerular structures.
Endothelial cells (en) receive signals from the podocytes to migrate into the vascular cleft and form glomerular capillaries.
The glomerular lesions and disappearance of glomeruli compromised the renal function of these animals, a fact reflected in raised serum potassium and urea concentrations.
However, the renal lesions exhibited by these mice models are different from the glomerular endotheliosis observed in preeclampsia.
In the final report of these results, the authors described glomerular endothelial cell swelling, which reduced the capillary lumina.
However, movement in the glomerular capillary is influenced by protein size, configuration and charge.
They suggested that serum-creatinine-based estimates of glomerular filtration rate in elderly patients may not provide accurate results.
Low glomerular filtration rate render thiazides ineffective, limiting their use in older people.
Studies of glomerular permeability have utilized neutral dextran molecules to assess the size selective properties of the glomerular barrier.
In general, the loss of the glomerular mass is proportional to the loss of tubular mass, maintaining glomerulotubular balance.
As a result, the glomeruli form but develop a "balloon-like" capillary structure, instead of the intricately folded glomerular endothelial capillaries in wildtype kidneys.
