Glomerular filtration and shrunken pore syndrome in children and adults
(2021) In Acta Paediatrica, International Journal of Paediatrics 110(9). p.2503-2508- Abstract
A major function of the kidney is to, by glomerular filtration, maintain the overall steady-state of 5–30 kDa proteins, many of which are signalling molecules. This function of the kidney has been overlooked, since predominantly low-molecular-mass substances <1 kDa have been used to measure or estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The use of cystatin C (13 kDa) as a marker of GFR has allowed the discovery that the filtration of 5–30 kDa molecules can be selectively impaired defining the shrunken pore syndrome. The discovery, pathophysiology, morbidity (mainly cardiovascular manifestations) and mortality of this syndrome are described.
