What Histological Changes Occur in Kidney Diseases Affecting Filtration?
In kidney diseases, such as glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy, histological changes can disrupt the glomerular filtration barrier. These changes may include thickening of the basement membrane, loss of podocyte foot processes, or inflammation of the glomerulus. Such alterations can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, and reduced GFR.
