Albuminuria

The presence of albumin in the urine, often an indicator of kidney damage.

Urinalysis

A test of urine to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections and kidney disease.

Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure

Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure is the pressure exerted by fluids in the Bowman's capsule of the kidneys, playing a critical role in the filtration process of blood into urine.

Net Filtration Pressure

The difference in pressure that drives the movement of fluid and solutes across a capillary wall, determined by the balance of hydrostatic and oncotic pressures.
