, Tests to asses glomerular function
• The blood supply to kidneys is relatively
large. About 1200 ml of blood (650 ml plasma)
passes through the kidneys, every minute.
• From this, about 120-125 ml is filtered per
minute by the kidneys and this is referred to
as glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
• Normal GFR is (120-125 ml/min).
• The glomerular filtrate formed in an adult is
about 175-180 litres per day, out of which
only 1.5 litres is excreted as urine.
