Question
What is the effective filtration pressure in Human kidneys?
Moderate
Solution
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GBHP) is about 60mmHg, it is opposed by capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP; 18 mm Hg) and glomerular blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP; 32mmHg).
Net Filtration Pressure = GBHP - (CHP + BCOP)
= 60 - (18+32)
= 60 - 50
= 10 mmHg
