Glomerular disease demonstrates a sudden or insidious onset of hypertension, edema, and an elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
Decreased glomerular filtration rate Elevated plasma creatinine, urea, and reduced creatinine clearance Glomerular damage causes a decreased glomerular membrane surface area, glomerular capillary blood flow, and blood hydrostatic pressure |
|
Glomerular disorders

Increased glomerular capillary permeability and loss of negative ionic charge barrier result in passage of plasma proteins into the urine
Resulting hypoalbuminemia encourages plasma fluid to move into the interstitial spaces Edema |
