Mechanisms of Glomerular Albumin Filtration and Tubular Reabsorption
Figure 2
Tubular albumin reabsorption in diabetic nephropathy calculated from the data from a rat fractional micropuncture study. Albumin reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) is significantly reduced in diabetes mellitus (DM) rats, resulting in higher albumin delivery in the distal convoluted tubules (DCT) and urine in DM rats than in normal controls.
