The Functional Adaptation of the Diseased Kidney. I. Glomerular Filtration Rate.
In accounting for the functional capabilities as well as for certain of the functional limitations of the chronically diseased kidney, it has been postulated that, as the nephron population decreases, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases adaptively in the surviving nephrons (1, 2). This type of functional adaptation is reminiscent of the compensatory hypertrophy that occurs in a normal ki...
متن کاملThe functional adaptation of the diseased kidney. 3. Ammonium excretion.
Ammonium excretion by the mammalian kidney is a rate-limited process that involves the de novo synthesis of NH8 by the renal tubular epithelial cells and the subsequent transfer of the ammonia from cell water to tubular fluid. Biologically, this process serves to increase markedly the capacity of the kidney to excrete hydrogen ions, for NH, is a strong base, and in an acidic urine virtually all...
متن کاملEvaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimating Formulas in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...
متن کاملValidity of the endogenous creatinine clearance as a measure of glomerular filtration rate in the diseased human kidney.
Twenty-five years ago Rehberg proposed the exogenous creatinine clearance for the measurement of glomerular filtration rate (1). In the dog and rabbit, this clearance provides a simple and accurate method of determining the filtration rate, coinciding with the inulin and ferrocyanide clearances (2, 3). Subsequently, Shannon (4) and Miller and Winkler (5) found in man that the exogenous creatini...
متن کاملGlomerular Filtration Rate and Renal Functional Reserve
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually accepted as the best overall index of kidney function in health and disease. Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size. In young adults it is approximately 120-130ml/ min/1.73 m2 and declines with age1. A decrease in GFR precedes the onset of clinical kidney failure; therefore, a persistently reduced GFR is a specific indication of chroni...
