  2. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in men and 90–120 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR ...

    The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 mL/min/1.73m 2 in men and 90–120 ml/min/1.73m 2 in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 mL/min/1.73 m 2 until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR decreases ...

  4. Standardized Kt/V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Kt/V

    K' is the equivalent clearance [mL/min] or [m 3 /s] ˙ is the mass generation rate of the substance - assumed to be a constant, i.e. not a function of time [mmol/min] or [mol/s] C o is the concentration at the beginning of dialysis [mmol/L] or [mol/m 3] Equation 4 is normalized by the volume of distribution to form equation 5:

  5. Kt/V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kt/V

    V also is a volume, expressed in mL or L. So the ratio of K × t / V is a so-called "dimensionless ratio" and can be thought of as a multiple of the volume of plasma cleared of urea divided by the distribution volume of urea. When Kt/V = 1.0, a volume of blood equal to the distribution volume of urea has been completely cleared of urea.

  6. Kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney

    The adult human kidney generates approximately 180 liters of filtrate a day, most of which is reabsorbed. [31] The normal range for a twenty four hour urine volume collection is 800 to 2,000 milliliters per day. [32] The process is also known as hydrostatic filtration due to the hydrostatic pressure exerted on the capillary walls.

  7. Filtration fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filtration_fraction

    Filtration fraction must therefore be increased in order to perform the normal functions of the kidney. Loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics decrease filtration fraction. Catecholamines ( norepinephrine and epinephrine ) increase filtration fraction by vasoconstriction of afferent and efferent arterioles , possibly through activation of alpha ...

  8. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

    Volume of blood plasma delivered to the kidney per unit time. PAH clearance is a renal analysis method used to provide an estimate. Approximately 625 ml/min. renal blood flow = (HCT is hematocrit) Volume of blood delivered to the kidney per unit time. In humans, the kidneys together receive roughly 20% of cardiac output, amounting to 1 L/min in ...

  9. Filtration coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filtration_coefficient

    Typical units of Kf are mL/min/mmHg. The rate of filtration across the membrane is, by definition, the product of Kf and the net filtration pressure across the membrane. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Kf is frequently applied to the glomerular capillaries, which filter water into Bowman's capsule to form urine.
