Answer:
Proteinuria is a general characteristic in different types of kidney and renal diseases where different types of proteins come in the filtrate. This causes a diminishing in the glomerular filtration rate due to the reason that proteins in the filtrate cause aggravation and scarring.
Explanation:
The value of Glomerular Filtration Rate or GFR is given as
Here
- K_f is the Permeability constant of glomerular capillaries
- P_c is the hydrostatic pressure of the glomerular capillary
- P_b is the hydrostatic pressure of the Bowman's space
- π_c is the oncotic pressure of the glomerular capillary
As the proteins start to occur in the filtrate, they reduce the and increase the value of
. This leads to a reduced difference
, which leads to reduced GFR as they are directly proportional.
