Detailed Solution

In a healthy individual, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is approximately 125 mL per minute, which translates to a daily filtration rate of approximately 180 liters.

The average GFR for a healthy individual is approximately 125 mL per minute. This means that in one minute, approximately 125 mL of blood is filtered by the glomeruli. To estimate the daily GFR, we multiply this value by the number of minutes in a day, which is 24 hours x 60 minutes = 1,440 minutes.

Daily GFR = 125 mL/minute x 1,440 minutes/day ≈ 180,000 mL/day

Since 1 liter (L) is equal to 1,000 mL, we can convert the daily GFR to liters:

Daily GFR ≈ 180,000 mL/day ÷ 1,000 mL/L ≈ 180 L/day
