|
|
Increased GFR
|
|
|
Decreased GFR
|
|
|
Increased glomerular permeability
|
|
|
Decreased glomerular permeability

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nephrotic syndrome usually happens when the glomeruli are inflamed, allowing too much protein to leak from your blood into your urine. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, the glomeruli filter out waste products and allow the blood to keep the cells and proteins the body needs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus the filtration fraction (FF) was greatly decreased in the nephrotic stage. In patients investigated both in the nephrotic and the remission phase, GFR and FF increased significantly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical and laboratory syndrome caused by the increased permeability of the glomerular capillary wall for macromolecules.
