The 19 pages that link to Glomerular filtration rate, each with the reason it gives.

• Chronic kidney diseaseRelated: Its sustained reduction is a central measure of kidney function and disease severity.

• Acute kidney injuryRelated: Its rapid fall is the central functional change measured in acute kidney injury.

• NephronRelated: It estimates how effectively nephrons filter plasma.

• KidneyRelated: It summarizes filtration capacity and helps stage chronic kidney disease.

• Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone systemRelated: Angiotensin II can help preserve filtration during reduced perfusion by constricting the efferent arteriole.

• Glomerular filtrationRelated: It quantifies the total output of the filtration process.

• NephrotoxicityRelated: A fall in filtration is a central functional consequence of many nephrotoxic injuries.

• Renal impairmentRelated: A falling filtration rate is a central measure of impaired kidney function.

• GlomerulusRelated: It quantifies the filtration produced by functioning glomeruli.

• Kidney dialysisRelated: It helps describe kidney function and the severity of its loss.

• Glomerular filtration barrierRelated: Barrier permeability is one determinant of the rate at which filtrate forms.

• Renal excretionRelated: It sets the amount of plasma available for renal processing and excretion.

• Renal clearanceRelated: A freely filtered substance with no net tubular transport has clearance equal to this rate.

• NephrologyRelated: Its estimated value is central to staging kidney disease and tracking function.

• UremiaRelated: A severely reduced filtration rate signals loss of the kidneys’ waste-clearing capacity.

• NitrofurantoinRelated: Reduced kidney function can lower urinary drug concentrations and affect nitrofurantoin use.

• CarboplatinRelated: It estimates renal clearance and is central to calculating an appropriate carboplatin dose.

• Kidney failureRelated: A falling filtration rate is a key measure of declining kidney function.
