Question

What will be the glomerular filtration pressure(GFP) if glomerular hydrostatic pressure(GHP) is $60$mm Hg, blood colloidal osmotic pressure, (BCOP) is $30$mm Hg and capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is $20$mm HP?

• A. $50$mm Hg
• B. $30$mm Hg
• C. $70$mm Hg
• D. $10$mm Hg

Answer 1

The correct option is C $70$mm Hg

GFP= GHP -(BCOP+CHP)

Then, GFP = 60-(30+20)

Hence, GFP= 10mm Hg
