Define Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

A fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).....

Assertion: Glomerular filtration requires expenditure of energy by kidney. Reason: Glomerular filtration occurs because pressure in the glomerular capillaries is lower than the pressure in Bowman's capsule

Write about the forces that promote and oppose glomerular filtration. Define GFR and give the normal GFR value in adults.

Assertion: The kidneys have built in mechanisms for the regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Reason: ANF mechanism is one such efficient mechanism.

(a) Glomerular blood pressure - 55 mmHg (b) Glomerular filtration rate - 120-125 ml/min (c) Colloidal Osmotic pressure - 30 mmHg (d) Capsular hydrostatic pressure - 20 mmHg
