| Men's kidneys have larger glomeruli than women's and they have a greater glomerular volume. |
| Numerous glomerular wireloop lesions and hyaline capillary loop thrombi were seen. |
| Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney in response to glomerular underperfusion or a reduced salt intake. |
| The glomerular tufts were shrunken or necrotic and renal medullary rays were congested. |
| Oxytocin has been shown to have an intrinsic antidiuretic effect, acting to increase water reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. |
| Nervousness and stress can increase blood pressure which in turn will increase glomerular filtration. |
