(1) Pressure of blood in the glomerulus causes fluid to filter into Bowman's capsule.(2) The glomerulus filters the blood and the waste products are removed.(3) Glucose normally is filtered by the glomerulus , but it is almost completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule.(4) Your kidneys filter waste and sodium using tiny filters called glomeruli .(5) Jones silver stains highlighted the basement membrane spikes in some, but not all, glomerular capillaries.(6) This force drives plasma from the glomerular capillaries into the nephrons.(7) By light microscopy, glomeruli showed glomerular basement membrane thickening.(8) Studies in hypertensive rats showed that a high potassium intake prevented renal vascular, glomerular , and tubular damage independently of blood pressure.(9) IgA Nepropathy progressively ruins the kidneys' filtering units, called glomeruli .(10) In cases of severe intravascular hemolysis, the binding capacity of haptoglobin is exceeded rapidly, and free hemoglobin is filtered by the glomeruli .(11) In unselected individuals with glomerular haematuria the renal biopsy most often shows thin basement membrane disease.
