31. Abnormal ranges of the fractional excretion of sodium can imply acute tubular necrosis or glomerular dysfunction. 32. This increases pressure in glomerular capillaries. 33. His main interests are in renal microcirculatory physiology, glomerular inflammation, and renal vascular disease. 34. Nitrate is cleared from the plasma by the kidney at rates approaching the rate of glomerular filtration. 35. Decreased perlecan in the glomerular basement membrane has a central role in the development of diabetic albuminuria. 36. Pathologic examination reveals the typical lesion of " hyperfiltration nephropathy " namely, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. 37. Elliott had focal segmental glomerular sclerosis, which prevents the kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood. 38. The glomerular filtrate next moves to the renal tubule, where it is further processed to form urine. 39. Magnesium is excreted solely by the kidneys at a rate proportional to the plasma concentration and glomerular filtration. 40. In the kidney, approximately 250 mmol of calcium ions are filtered into the glomerular filtrate per day.
