Unveiling The Secrets Of Calculating Net Filtration Pressure: A Comprehensive Guide
Net filtration pressure (NFP) is a critical factor in glomerular filtration, the process of waste removal from the blood in the kidneys. NFP is the balance between hydrostatic pressure (GCHP) in the glomerular capillaries and oncotic pressure (GOCP) in the capillaries and Bowman’s capsule (BOCP). When GCHP is higher than BOCP and GOCP combined, NFP…
