Edema

Slide 2 :

What Can Cause Protein to be Excreted in the Urine? Glomerulonephritis: kidney damage caused by inflammation in the glomeruli

Slide 3 :

What is the Relationship Between Protein Excretion in the Urine and Edema? Albumin excretion in the urine due to glomerulonephritis Albumin (a plasma protein) normally creates a high concentration of solutes in the capillaries causing water to diffuse into them from the surrounding tissue fluid In essence, albumin acts as a sponge, soaking up water from surrounding tissues When albumin is deficient there is a higher concentration of solutes in the tissue, pulling water from the capillary into the tissue. This reverses the normal concentration gradient, which causes edema (retaining fluid in the tissues).
