This part of the glomerulus is in contact with and becomes part of the capillary wall.
 
Visceral epithelium     Separated from endothelium by BM
3
This is the outside lining of the urinary space.
 
Parietal epithelium

Elevated BUN, creatinine   What does it mean?
 
azotemia   Decreased GFR
12
Types of azotemia
 
1. Prerenal: hypoperfusion of the kidney, no parenchymal damage 2. Postrenal: obstructed urine...
