The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli into the capsule is:

1. 50 mm Hg
2. 75 mm Hg
3. 20 mm Hg
4. 30 mm Hg

Correct answer: 20 mm Hg

Solution

Glomerular filtration depends on the net outward pressure after accounting for capsular hydrostatic pressure and plasma oncotic pressure. Using the standard values, the remaining driving force is 20 mm Hg.
