glomerular

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

glomerular

[glo-mer´u-lar]

pertaining to or of the nature of a glomerulus, especially a renal glomerulus.

glo·mer·u·lar

(glō-mer'yū-lăr),

Relating to or affecting a glomerulus or the glomeruli.

Synonym(s): glomerulose

glomerular

/glo·mer·u·lar/ (glo-mer´u-ler) pertaining to or of the nature of a glomerulus, especially a renal glomerulus.

glomerular

See glomerulus.

intraglomerular

adjective Within a glomerulus or glomeruli; i.e., glomerular (in practice, the prefix intra- is almost invariably dropped).

glo·mer·u·lar

, glomerulose (glō-mer'yū-lăr, -yū-lōs)

Relating to or affecting a glomerulus or the glomeruli.

glomerular

pertaining to or of the nature of a glomerulus, especially a renal glomerulus.

glomerular basement membrane

the structure located between endothelial cells of renal capillaries and the visceral epithelial cells of the glomerulus. It functions as a barrier to filtration of large molecules.

glomerular capsule

Bowman's capsule.

glomerular crescent

see glomerular crescent.

glomerular diseases

see glomerulonephritis, glomerulonephropathy, glomerulopathy.

glomerular filtrate

the acellular low-protein ultrafiltrate of plasma that passes the glomerulus.

glomerular filtration

see glomerulus.

glomerular filtration rate

varies widely depending on diet. It is the ability of the renal tubules to vary their absorbing capacity that ensures there is no great electrolyte loss during the periods of high rates of glomerular filtration.

glomerular lipidosis

characterized by the presence of large foam cells in glomerular tufts in dogs. They appear to have no disease significance.

glomerular permeability

in normal subjects the capillary endothelium of the glomerulus, by virtue of its fenestration, is permeable to all blood constituents except blood cells and colloids so that the glomerular filtrate has a close similarity to plasma and interstitial fluid but has a lower protein concentration than both of them.

Para el calculo de la filtracion glomerular (FG), se utilizo la ecuacion que Schwartz y cols(6) desarrollaron en el ano 1976, aplicable a ninos y que permite estimar la tasa de FG basandose en la concentracion serica de creatinina y en la talla del paciente: CCr (ml/ min/1,73 m2) = K x Talla (cm)/[PCr] (mg/dl).
