Glomerular permselectivity refers to the molecular basis by which the glomerular capillary wall restricts the permeation of macromolecules like proteins based on their size, charge, and configuration. There are two main hypotheses for the selectivity: charge selectivity and size selectivity. While several models have been proposed to explain glomerular filtration, such as the pore model and gel hypothesis, the exact mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Ongoing research aims to further elucidate this complex filtering process.
