Why is Glomerular Filtration Important in Renal Disorders?
Monitoring glomerular filtration is crucial in diagnosing and managing renal disorders. A decreased GFR is often one of the first indicators of kidney dysfunction. Conditions such as glomerulonephritis, CKD, and acute kidney injury (AKI) are all associated with changes in GFR. By assessing GFR, healthcare providers can determine the severity of kidney damage and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
