If one says that the clearance value of glucose is zero, what does this mean? A) The clearance value of glucose is relatively high in a healthy adult B) Most of the glucose is filtered out of the blood and is not reabsorbed in the convoluted tubules. C) N What is the pulse rate ...
The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is the thin sugar-based lining on the apical surface of endothelial cells. It has been linked to the physiological functioning of the microcirculation and has been found to be damaged in critical illness and after acute ca
Although this review does not delve into these aspects, future studies exploring TG role in CKD across various aetiologias, including immune and infection-driven pathways, could offer valuable insights into their multifaceted impact on renal health. 3. –Hypertriglyceridemia as a cause of kidney ...
This figure does not tackle the additional more recently described alamandine system, where angiotensin II is modified by mononuclear leukocyte-derived decarboxylase (MLAD) to angiotensin A (a vasoconstrictor which differs from angiotensin II by having alanine instead of aspartate), which, in turn, ...
