The inflammation would increase the permeability of your glomeruli. This retraction of the epithelium will allow the larger protein molecules to go through the filtrate.

What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
When less glomerular filtrate is formed what kind of urine is formed?
less urine is formed
Difference between filtrate and urine?
Until the liquid reaches the renal pelvis, it is "glomerular filtrate," when it reaches the pelvis, it is called "urine"
Is glomerular filtrate nearly protein free?
true or false
What is used to form urine and requires a high blood pressure?
Glomerular filtrate
What percent of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed?
the nephrons produce approx 150 litres of glomerular filtrate per day 99% of which is reabsorbed to leave an average of 1.5litres of urine.
Glucose is found in glomerular filtrate but NOT in the urine because?
glucose is transported back into the bloodstream
Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?
yes.....glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Which mechanisms reabsorb solutes from the glomerular filtrate?
Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
Why are red blood cells or proteins not found in the glomerular filtrate?
. Since proteins are very large molecules (macromolecules), they are not normally present in measurable amounts in the glomerular filtrate or in the urine. The detection of protein in urine, called proteinuria may indicate that the permeabilityof the glomerulus is abnormally increased. This may be caused by renal infections or it may be caused by other diseases that have secondarily affected the kidneys such as diabetes mellitus, jaundice, or hyperthyroidism.
