It is assumed that glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GIP) is 75 mm of Hg, the osmotic blood pressure as 40 mm of Hg and the capsular pressure as 25 mm of Hg, then the effective filtration pressure (EFP) will be _________ mm of Hg.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Effective Filtration Pressure (EFP) is the net pressure that promotes filtration in the kidneys.

It is calculated as the difference between the force favoring filtration and the forces opposing filtration.

Force favoring filtration = Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) = mm Hg

Forces opposing filtration = Blood Colloidal Osmotic Pressure (BCOP) + Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure (CHP)

Given:
BCOP = mm Hg
CHP = mm Hg

EFP = GHP - (BCOP + CHP)

EFP =

EFP = mm Hg
