Question

Which of the following defines the net filtration pressure (NFPP)?

• A. BCOP - (GHP + CHP)
• B. GHP - (BCOP + CHP)
• C. (BCOP + GHP) - CHP
• D. (GHP - CHP) + BCOP

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

GHP - (BCOP + CHP)

A) Blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) is the pressure created due to the presence of plasma protein.

B) Net Filteration pressure (NFPP) = GHP - (BCOP+CHP)

C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is the pressure created due to the presence of fluid in Bowman's capsule.

D) Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) is pressuring the created due to narrow efferent arteriole.

So the correct answer is 'GHP - (BCOP + CHP)'.
