Online calculator to estimate filtration constant (Kf) in renal function (nephrology). It can be calculated by dividing the experimental GFR by the net filtration pressure.
Formula:
Kf = [ GFR / (PG - PB - ∏G + ∏B ) ]
where,
GFR = glomerular filtration rate
PG = hydrostatic pressure within the glomerular capillaries
PB = hydrostatic pressure within the Bowman's capsule
∏G = colloid osmotic pressure within the glomerular capillaries
∏B = colloid osmotic pressure within the Bowman's capsule
Kf = filtration constant.
