Net Filtration Pressure
- Glomerular Blood Hydrostatic Pressure (GBHP): It is the blood pressure in the glomerulus. It is about 60 mm Hg.
- Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (BCOP): It is the pressure exerted by the plasma proteins in the glomerulus. These proteins are not filtered and they oppose the filtration. It is about 32 mm Hg.
- Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure (CHP): It is the pressure exerted by the filtrate in the glomerulus against filtration membrane. It also opposes the filtration and is 18 mm Hg.
- Both BCOP and CHP oppose the glomerular filtration and are called pressure opposing filtration.
- Net Filtration Pressure: It is the total pressure that promotes filtration and is calculated as :
- Hence, a pressure of 10 mm Hg causes the blood plasma to filter from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule.
