This article focuses on clearance methods for measurement of glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption with reference to a study on the renal handling of sugars. This study was conducted by N. Jolliffe, J.A. Shannon and H.W. Smith. It was focused on the problem that no substance is known to be present normally in the plasma and urine of vertebrates which can be safely used to evaluate the quantity of glomerular filtrate under physiological conditions. For measurement of glomerular filtration rate, three substance were chosen, xylose, sucrose and raffinose. They also measured tubular reabsorption and filtration. And it was found that many substances are cleared more rapidly by tubular secretion than by glomerular secretion. |
