"Three highs" in the glomerulus

The theory of three glomeruli refers to "high perfusion, high pressure, and high filtration." Occurs on the basis of various chronic kidney diseases and glomerular sclerosis, slowly appearing renal failure to failure. After benign renal arteriosclerosis, due to the destruction of some nephrons and the residual nephrons to compensate for the excretion of metabolic waste, glomeruli will appear "high pressure", "hyperperfusion" and "high filtration".
