Question

Protelnuria is a condition in which excessive protein is found in the urine Part A What must be happening to the kidney's membrane filters if such large molecules are found in the urine? O In a normal kidney, big molecules pass through the glomeruli(the kidney's semipermeable membrane). If big molecules are not able to pass through the membrane, an indication of kidney disease. In a normal kidney, only small molecules pass through the glomeruli (the kidney's semipermeable membrane). If larger molecules are able to pass through the membrane, the pores in the membrane are larger In a normal kidney, only small molecules pass through the glomeruli (the kidney's semipermeable membrane). If small molecules are not able to pass through the membrane, the pores in the membrane are smaller than normal, an indication of kidney disease Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

In urine formation process, one of the three process is filtration process.In this process tiny things pass through the capillary wall called glomeruli.generally sugar,salts,amino ac8ds etc. Pass through glomeruli,but large things such as cell,protein can't pass through glomeruli in normal case.So if large molecule are found in urine then the pores in the membrane are larger than normal,an indication of kidney disease.
