Question

What are the factors that favour glomerular filtration

Open in App

Solution

The pressure in the glomerular capillaries, P_GC, favors filtration. Opposing filtration is the osmotic pressure due to the blood proteins (π_GC) and the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's space (P_BS). The net glomerular filtration pressure is the sum of these forces.
