MP Term : abnormal glomerular filtration barrier morphology [MP:0011855] Mammalian Phenotype

Namespace  MPheno.ontology Obsolete  false
description  any structural anomaly of the highly specialized blood filtration interface that displays a high conductance to small and midsized solutes in plasma but retains relative impermeability to macromolecules; its integrity is maintained by physicochemical and signalling interplay among its three core constituents -- the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the glomerular basement membrane, and the filtration slits of the visceral epithelial cell (podocyte)
