What are the functional tests for glomerular filtration?

summary

Glomerulonephritis, as a common disease in our life, is well known by many people. However, due to the lack of publicity, there are still some friends who don't know much about the symptoms of the disease, so that we can't discover and treat the disease in time, resulting in various hazards. What are the functional tests that reflect glomerular filtration? Now let me tell you something.

What are the functional tests for glomerular filtration?

Edema * edema is the most obvious symptom in glomerulonephritis patients, because the glomerular filtration rate is reduced, and protein loss from urine causes colloid osmotic pressure to decrease, resulting in water retention. The increase of renin secretion, secondary aldosterone secretion, renal tubular sodium and water reabsorption and other factors are the causes of renal edema. The light ones only gain weight, and the heavy ones may have swelling of the whole body, even a large amount of effusion in the abdominal (thoracic) cavity.

Proteinuria: the most important feature of glomerulonephritis is proteinuria. The permeability of glomerular capillary wall is increased, and plasma albumin is filtered by basement membrane, resulting in proteinuria. Hypertension: by regulating metabolism, the kidney affects the effective circulating blood volume, and produces renin, which affects the renin angiotensin aldosterone system and leads to hypertension.

Tubular urine: tubular urine is formed by protein coagulation and precipitation, so in glomerulonephritis, there should be tubular urine. It should be noted that there is only protein in urine but no tubular type, which can not reflect the pathological changes of glomerulus. On the contrary, only tubular type without protein does not indicate glomerulopathy.

matters needing attention

I believe you also master the symptoms of glomerulonephritis, we also understand some of it! If you have the above situation, please go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. If you have any questions to consult, you can go to the hospital to consult the relevant experts. Finally, I wish you good health.
