Disorders of filtration can lead to various diseases. For instance:
Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomeruli, often leading to impaired filtration and proteinuria. Diabetic nephropathy: High blood sugar levels damage the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to protein leakage and kidney dysfunction. Nephrotic syndrome: A condition characterized by significant protein loss in urine due to increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier.
