The membrane at the head of each nephron

Glomerulus

The first section of the nephron a cluster of capillary loops

Glomerular filtration rate

The volume of fluid that is filtered from the renal glomerular capillaries into bowman capsule per unit

Aldosterone

A hormone of the adrenal glands that acts on the distal nephron tubular to stimulate the reabsorption of sodium in an ion exchange with potassium

Antidiuretic horomine

A hormone of the pituitary gland that acts on the distal nephron tubular to conserve water

The secretion of small amounts of urine in relation to fluid intake

Anuria

The absence of urine production

Nephrosis

Degenerative lesions of the renal tubes of the nephrons and especially of the thin basement membrane of the glomerulus that helps to support the capillary loops

Ascites

The accumulation of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity

Lipiduria

Lipid droplets found in urine that are composed mostly of cholesterol esters

Blood urea nitrogen

A test of nephron function that measures the ability to filter urine nitrogen which is a product of protein Metabolism from the blood

Catabolism

The metallic process of breaking down large substances to yield the smaller building blocks

Elemental formula

In nutrition support formula composed of simple Elemental nutrition components that require no further digestive breakdown and are thus readily absorbed

Various materials such as cells cellular debris and fluids that have escaped from the blood vessels and that are deposited in or on the Surface tissues usually as a result of inflammation

Osmotic pressure

Hydrostatic pressure across a semipermeable membrane that is necessary to maintain the normal movement of fluid between the capillaries and the surrounding tissue
