How long for entire blood supply to be filtered?
A person's kidneys receive about 20% of the heart's cardiac output (~1200mL/min). A person has about 6 - 8L of blood depending on gender, body size, etc. So on average it will take about 5 - 7 minutes for a person's entire blood volume to reach the kidneys. But once the blood reaches the kidneys, it is the glomeruli that filters the blood. The average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 125mL/min or 180L/ 24hr. So it takes about 45 min - 1 hour for 6 - 8L of blood to be filtered.
