In addition to hydrostatic pressure, GFR is influenced by glomerular plasma osmotic pressure. |
In general, tubulointerstitial diseases progress more slowly than do glomerular diseases, diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy, and polycystic kidney disease. |
Numerous glomerular wireloop lesions and hyaline capillary loop thrombi were seen. |
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltrates were present in the glomerular tufts, and many glomeruli displayed segmental necrosis. |
This filtration occurs from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule to form tubular fluid. |
Nervousness and stress can increase blood pressure which in turn will increase glomerular filtration. |
