glomerular filtration

It can be used in the calculation of clearance and glomerular filtration rate.

The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined by the glomerular filtration rate.

Perlecan has an important role in the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier.

The kidney's most important function is to reabsorb water after glomerular filtration.

This method is useful for evaluating glomerular filtration rate.

Inulin clearance is also used to estimate glomerular filtration rate.

Replacing red meat with a low protein or chicken diet can improve glomerular filtration rate.

This in turn leads to a smaller glomerular filtration rate, and on the whole, less water is transferred from the blood to the kidney.

As a result, serum creatinine level is an indirect measure of glomerular filtration rate.

My glomerular filtration rate (a measure of kidney function) used to be 44, which was low for my age.

They play an important role in maintaining the glomerular filtration rate despite fluctuations in blood pressure.

Abnormalities in glomerular filtration are less common, and when found are usually not clinically significant.

Generally, the creatinine clearance is a good estimation of the glomerular filtration rate.

If kidney function and glomerular filtration rate decline, the blood levels of cystatin C rise.

It was first proposed as a measure of glomerular filtration rate by Grubb and coworkers in 1985.

Thiazides have no major effect on renal blood flow, but are likely to decrease glomerular filtration rate.

However, with the aid of the myogenic mechanism, the glomerular filtration rate remains very insensitive to changes in human blood pressure.

Nitrate is cleared from the plasma by the kidney at rates approaching the rate of glomerular filtration.

This causes a decrease in surface area of the basement membrane and thus a decreased glomerular filtration rate.

This location is critical to its function in regulating renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate.

Glomerular filtration rate did not vary.

The net effect of these competing mechanisms on glomerular filtration will vary with the physiological and pharmacological environment.

Glomerular filtration rate falls and the kidney is unable to perform its normal excretory functions.

Elimination of fluoride depends on glomerular filtration rate.

At the point that the level of serum creatinine goes up, the glomerular filtration rate may be reduced by as much as half.
