.A possible consequence of staphylococcal infection is glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis affects the filtration membrane by causing the basement membrane underlying the glomerular endothelium to lose its negative charge.
The negative charge on the basement membrane is what prevents plasma proteins from entering the filtrate. Thus, with this condition, protein can enter the urine production (proteinuria).
What effect will this have on glomerulus filtration rate? Why? Again, as specific as possible.
Requirements: As long as you want. I think one paragraph can cover the answer.
