glomerular filtration in a sentence

Examples

1. From three months of age onwards, a reduced glomerular filtration rate is detected, indicative of progressive renal failure.
2. In cases of renal disease, glomerular filtration rate decreases, so nothing gets filtered as well as it normally would.
3. The amount of filtrate produced every minute is called the glomerular filtration rate or GFR and amounts to 180 litres per day.
4. Creatinine is removed from the blood chiefly by the kidneys, primarily by glomerular filtration, but also by proximal tubular secretion.
5. Chronic kidney failure is measured in five stages, which are calculated using a patient s GFR, or glomerular filtration rate.
6. Presentation of nephrotoxicity can appear as Fanconi syndrome, acute kidney injury, or decline of glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
7. Reabsorption is also increased by volume contraction, reduced renal plasma flow as in congestive heart failure, and decreased glomerular filtration.
8. This is likely due to constriction of the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus, resulting in decreased glomerular filtration rate and clearance.
9. I know that it is theoretically possible for glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) to keep going up and up to infinity.
10. When renal function, measured by the glomerular filtration rate, is persistently poor, dialysis and kidney transplantation may be treatment options.
