Question

What happens to glomerular filtration rake (GF1t) if blood pressure in the kidneys increases?

Answer 1

Glomerular filtration occurs due to the pressure gradient in the glomerulus. The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate. The main driving force for the filtering process or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus. Increased blood volume and increased blood pressure will increase GFR.
