What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
Which molecule would you expect to have the most difficulty crossing the glomerular filtration membrane?
albumin
What would happen to net filtration pressure at the glomerulus if proteins began to leak from the glomerular capillaries into Bowmans capsule?
Are you in C34?
Would red blood cells be present in the renal filtrate?
Not normally - red blood cells are quite large and should be above the glomerular filtration size threshold. Blood in the renal filtrate will by default result in blood in the urine due to an inability of the kidney to reabsorb it and this is pathlogic.
If kidney function depends upon filtration how would kidney function be affected is someone had a ruptured aorta?
Someone with a ruptured aorta would die from this.
Is it true without the kidney filtration we would die from accumulated toxins?
Yes this is true
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What is the basic unit of filtration for the kidney?
Actually ,it would be a disease stopping it from functioning.The basic unit of the filteration would be that the kidney cleans out your blood system.the kidney makes the blood flow.Without the kidney you would most likey die unless someone gives you one. I think the answer you are looking for is the nephron. The nephron is the basic funtioning unit of the kidney.
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
What is low GFR AA mean?
the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass. A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Non- AA (African American)
Would alcohol affect the kidney after hepatatis B vaccine?
No. Neither alcohol nor hep B affect the kidney. Hep B infection and alcohol both affect the liver but the vaccine is not a live vaccine so it does not.
What is low GFR Non AA mean?
the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass. A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Non- AA (African American)
