Why does blood get filtered by the kidneys?

Blood pressure promotes filtration of blood in the kidneys by, generally, being greater in pressure than blood colloid osmotic pressure and glomerular capsule pressure which produces a net filtration pressure of about 10 mm Hg. Net filtration pressure forces a large volume of fluid into the capsular space. When blood pressure increase or decreases slightly, changes in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles can actually keep net filtration pressure steady to maintain normal glomerular filtration. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which decreases net filtration pressure. Constriction of the efferent arteriole slows outflow of blood and increases net filtration pressure.


What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?

Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.


What is filtration pressure?

is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure


What is the normal net filtration pressure?

is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure


Glomerular net filtration pressure is best defined as?

The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.


What factor will increase the net filtration pressure to move fluid out of the capillaries?

Increased blood hydrostatic pressure.


Can you describe three pressures operating at the filtration membrane and explain how each influences net filtration pressure?

The chief force is: 1. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure-- (HPg) Then, there are two opposing forces: 2. Colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular blood-- (OPg) 3. Capsular hydrostatic pressure -- (HPc) They influence Net Filtration Pressure in the following manner: NFP= HPg - (OPg+HPc)


What does high blood pressure do in the glomerulus?

the pressure in glomerulus creates higher net filtration pressure resulting large amount of filtration formed.


The net filtration pressure at the glomerulus that results in the formation of ultralfiltrate is?

estimated to be approximately 10 mmHg


How can you decrease the glomerular filtration rate?

gfr is the net results of the balance between hydrostatic pressures &colloid osmotic pressures of intra vascular compartment & within the Bowman's capsule,where the net pressure gradient is towards filtration.i.e. "Net filtration pressure".Any method which will reduce this net filtration pressure will reduce GFR.That can be achieved by increasing the plasma globulin ad albumin level(increase colloid osmotic pressure),hypotension and addition of vasocostrictor at afferent and vasodialtors at efferent tubule(reducing capilary hydrostatic pressure) or obstructing the free flow of urine(increasing Bowman's casular hydrostatic pressure)


What is the primary driving force that produces glomerular filtration?

Osmotic pressure in the blood vessel or cell pushes water from a place with a lower concentration of dissolved solids (there is more water on that side, proportionally), to the other side if there is a higher concentration of dissolved solids (because proportionally there is less water)
