41. Glomerular hypertension causes mesangial cells to stretch which causes induced expression of GLUT1 leading to increased cellular glucose.42. Microscopically, MGN is characterized by a thickened glomerular basement membrane without a hyperproliferation of the glomerular cells. 43. Microscopically, MGN is characterized by a thickened glomerular basement membrane without a hyperproliferation of the glomerular cells. 44. It is indicated for evaluation of glomerular filtration in the diagnosis or monitoring of patients with renal disease. 45. The glomerular filtration rate of single nephrons in birds is low because avian glomeruli have small surface area. 46. This helps maintain normal glomerular perfusion and glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ), an indicator of renal function. 47. This helps maintain normal glomerular perfusion and glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ), an indicator of renal function. 48. This is due to the decrease in glomerular filtration rate induced by ciclosporin leading to retention of uric acid. 49. Renal professionals consider the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) to be the best overall index of kidney function. 50. There are several different techniques used to calculate or estimate the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR or eGFR ).
