 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
