Oral protein load as a physiological stimulus to temporarily increase glomerular filtration rate
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Change in glomerular filtration rate after ingestion of protein
Short term-changes in the glomerular filtration rate will be measured before and after ingestion of oral protein
Time frame: Single full-day clinic visit: Repeated glomerular filtration rate measurements are to be performed over the course of the day at a single study visit for each participant.
