The two basic types of glomerular disease include nephritic and nephrotic, but with some diseases, the two types can overlap. (See Differential diagnosis and evaluation of glomerular disease .). Nephritic â The key feature of nephritic disease is blood in the urine (hematuria).
(May 2015). The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a microscopic structure in the kidney that regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney. The juxtaglomerular apparatus is named because it is next to (juxta-) the glomerulus. Adenosine constricts the afferent arteriole via A1 receptors and dilates (to a lesser degree) efferent arterioles via A2 receptors. 2  This acts to decrease the glomerular filtrate rate. 3  Adenosine also inhibits renin release in juxtaglomerular cells via A1 receptors on JG cells using a Gi pathway.
