Filtration Constant - Renal Function Formula


Equation for calculate filtration constant - renal function is,

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.
