What is the bun urinalysis test?
BUN is the Blood Urea Nitrogen level test and is a test of kidney function used in comparison with glomerular filtration rate http://www.globalrph.com/labs_u.htm
How can sodium losses in the urine during water-induced diuresis be replaced?
-Increase in alderstone secretion -Decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -Increase in ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secretion -Decrease in secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide
Which mechanisms reabsorb solutes from the glomerular filtrate?
Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
What are the errors in filtration experiment?
Possible errors in filtration experiment
What is a sentence for the word filtration?
The river water is cleaned by filtration, then treated with chlorine to kill bacteria.
Where and how does process of glomerular filtration occur?
it occurs in the glomerulare (Bowman's) capsule.
What are the three basic process that occur in the nephron?
Filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
What does the medical abbreviation GFR mean?
Glomerular Filtration RateThe GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
Where does most of the fluid go after glomerular filtrtion?
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
Is the glomerular filtration an ATP driven process?
no
Is the kidney functional when the glomerular filtration rate is zero?
no
What is injected to measure glomerular filtration rate?
inulin
What are the factors effecting glomerular filtration?
blood pressure
What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?
Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
What does the medical abbreivation GRF mean'?
Glomerular filtration rate
Define glomerular filtration rate Name and describe the pressures which are effective at the glomerulus under normal conditions and result in glomerular filtration?
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
