The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the amount of blood filtered per unit of time by the kidney's glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. Learn about GFR through definitions and terms, explore the function and complexity of GFR, and discover factors that increase or decrease GFR, including ...
Live donor work up of the father was satisfactory except for borderline kidney function; glomerularfiltration rate (GFR) measured by plasma clearance of ~(51)Cr[EDTA] was 87.0 ml/min uncorrected for body surface area (BSA) and 77.9 ml/min/1.73 m~2. Should kidney donation proceed? Published...
Is it good to have a high glomerular filtration rate?A GFR of 90 or higher is considered normal if you're healthy unless you have other symptoms such asprotein in your urine, which could still be a sign of kidney disease. If you have increased blood volume and blood pressure, your GFR ...
Explain how inflammation of the glomerular capsule causes hematuria. Why does glucose appear in the urine? Which of the following is a normal glomerular filtration rate? 1. 50 mL/min 2. 75 mL/min 3. 120 mL/min 4. 175 mL/min What would be the likely outcome if tubular reabsorption i...

There is important nosologic utility in staging chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These equations have been optimized for estimating GFR at a single point in time. Risk assessment models used for prognosis of specified outcome events have commonly ...
Low glomerular filtration rate and risk of stroke: meta-analysis STUDY QUESTION Does a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) predict risk of future stroke and if so to what extent? SUMMARY ANSWER An eGFR <60 ml... M Lee,JL Saver,KH Chang,... - 《Br Med J》 被引量: 1128...
(glomerular filtration rate)Determine if creatinine is being filtered by the glomerulus. If yes, determine if it is reabsorbed into the blood or if it is found in the urine. Then, if it is reabsorbed into the blood, determine where this substance is reabsorbed in the nephron....
kidney function.They are usually checked with another kidney function marker called BUN, or blood urea nitrogen. These tests used together give an indication of overall kidney function, but the best way to know if your kidneys are working properly is to measure the glomerular filtration rate (...
What is the best method to compensate for the reduction of blood pressure on the glomerular filtration rate? Can low hemoglobin cause low blood pressure? How does a decrease in blood volume lead to a decrease in blood pressure? How does blood pressure medicine affect the kidneys?
