Objective of study: Renal mass reduction leads to glomerular hyperfiltration injury and is associated with hypertension, (micro-)albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis in animal studies. By definition ...

The identification of the glomeruli as the source of bleeding is important. Patients with clear evidence of glomerular hematuria do not need to be evaluated for potentially serious urologic disease.

This is an extensive refinement of a very powerful, yet not widely used, method for measurement of glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient. Figure 1. Isolated Glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient ...

Studies in 'healthy' Indians have found a lower range of normal glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) than in Western populations, but it is not clear if this difference is a reflection of ...

COVID-19 infection is associated with accelerated decline in kidney function, especially after hospitalization.

Glomerular cell biology is a core strength of the Bristol Renal group. We have an international reputation and numerous collaborations based on our unique conditionally immortalized cell lines. Our ...

The UAB Glomerular Kidney Disease Clinic is a sub-specialized clinic dedicated for the care of patients with rare glomerular diseases. Based at the Kirklin Clinic, our physicians provide comprehensive ...

A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new method to assess GFR (glomerular filtration rate) in older ...

Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney ...

Key urine indicators, such as albumin and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are used to assess kidney health. In conditions ...
