The rate at which substances are removed from the blood by the kidneys is called glomerular filtration rate transport maximunm Assuming a GFR of 125 ml/min, if a drug appears in the urine at a rate of 150 ml/min, then it is by the nephron. renal clearance glucose A substance that is reabsorbed from the filtrate would appear in the urine at a rate that is than the GFR. It is possible to measure GFR by injecting the carbohydrate into a patient and measuring the rate at which it appears in the urine. secreted reabsorbed When carrier proteins for glucose become saturated and this sugar begins to appear in the urine, the for glucose has been reached. less

Explanation / Answer

1. The rate at which substances are removed from the body by the kidney is called as renal clearance.

2. Assuming GFR of 125 ml/min, if a drug appears in the urine at a rate of 150/min, then it is reabsorbed by the neuron

3. A substance that is reabsorbed from the filtrate would appear in the urine at a rate that is less than the GFR.

4. It is possible to measure GFR by injecting the carbohydrate inulin into a patient and measuring the rate at which it appears in the urine.

5. When carrier proteins for glucose become saturated and this sugar begins to appear in the urine, the transport maximum for the glucose has been reached.
