| In general, tubulointerstitial diseases progress more slowly than do glomerular diseases, diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy, and polycystic kidney disease. |
| Men's kidneys have larger glomeruli than women's and they have a greater glomerular volume. |
| Nervousness and stress can increase blood pressure which in turn will increase glomerular filtration. |
| This filtration occurs from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule to form tubular fluid. |
| These arterioles frequently showed continuity at the glomerular hilum with segmental necrotizing glomerular lesions. |
| Oxytocin has been shown to have an intrinsic antidiuretic effect, acting to increase water reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. |
