The barrier function of glomerular capillaries in vivo, which prevents the leakage of plasma proteins and cellular elements, depends on the basic morphological and electro-chemical fine structure of the glomerular capillary wall, and on a functional barrier maintained by components obtained from blood, which effect the definitive barrier against the leakage of plasma proteins and cellular elements. The functional component of the barrier may explain the variability and some of the phenomena known as functional proteinuria. A certain size and number of morphological "defects" are thought to represent the normal condition, but under pathological conditions they may increase in size and number, resulting in a shift to an increasing permeability for higher molecular mass proteins; also an increase of the size and number of larger defects may enable more red cells to pass the barrier compared with the normal condition. These defects are different from the minimal glomerular lesions which are due to charge defects in the glomerular capillary membrane, primarily the lamina rara interna and the lamina rara externa of the basement membrane.
