New cards

glomerular filtration rate GFR

rate at which glomeruli filter blood

2
New cards

normal GFR

107-139 mL/min males

87-107 mL/min females

3
New cards

GFR depends on

permeability of capillary walls

vascular pressure

filtration pressure

4
New cards

most accurate measure of glomerular filtration

creatinine clearance

creatinine is filtered by glomeruli but not reabsorbed by tubules

5
New cards

if tubules neither reabsorb nor secrete substance

creatinine clearance equals GFR

as happens with creatinine

6
New cards

serum creatinine is used to measure

kidney function

7
New cards

creatinine clearance

another measure of how well kidneys are functioning
