The Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) at the glomerulus is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the blood colloid osmotic pressure acting across the glomerular capillaries. Under normal circumstances we can summarize this as
NFP = NHP - BCOP
or
NFP = 35mm Hg - 25 mm Hg = 10mm Hg
This is the average pressure forcing water and dissolved materials out of the glomerular capillaries and into the capsular spaces.
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood in the glomerular capillaries of the kidney. It is a crucial force responsible for the filtration of blood in the renal corpuscle. An appropriate balance of this pressure helps maintain normal kidney function by ensuring effective filtration of waste and excess substances from the blood.
No, pressure caused by gravity is not always necessary for filtration pressure to occur in the body. Filtration can also occur through active transport processes that do not rely on gravity to generate pressure, such as in the kidneys where filtration pressure is primarily driven by blood pressure in the glomerulus.
An increase in blood pressure, blood volume, or permeability of the filtration barrier would increase net filtration pressure. On the other hand, a decrease in blood pressure, blood volume, or an increase in plasma protein concentration would decrease net filtration pressure.
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the primary driving force for filtration rate in the kidneys. An increase in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will increase the rate of filtration by pushing more fluid and solutes out of the blood and into the renal tubules. Conversely, a decrease in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will decrease the filtration rate.
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related to the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries, the oncotic pressure in the Bowman's capsule, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These factors influence the movement of fluid and solutes across the glomerular filtration barrier.

Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
increase the area of filtration
Starling's law of the capillaries states that the net filtration = forces favouring filtration vs. forces opposing filtration. These forces include: Tonicity, Blod Hydrostatic Pressure (BHP), Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (BCOP), Interstitial Fluid Hydrostatic Pressure (IFHP), Interstitial Fluid Colloidal Pressure (IFCOP) and membrane permeability. Therefore effective filtration pressure (and the application of Starling's Law of the Capillaries) is defined as such: EFP=(BHP + IFCOP) - (IFHP + BCOP) Therefore: BHP + IFCOP moves fluid out of the capillaries and IFHP + BCOP moves fluid into capillaries
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the primary driving force for filtration rate in the kidneys. An increase in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will increase the rate of filtration by pushing more fluid and solutes out of the blood and into the renal tubules. Conversely, a decrease in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will decrease the filtration rate.
Both decantation and filtration can be effective methods, but they are used for different substances. Decantation is used for solutions that can be separated and filtration is used for solutions with thicker particles that can be filtered out.
Blood pressure promotes filtration of blood in the kidneys by, generally, being greater in pressure than blood colloid osmotic pressure and glomerular capsule pressure which produces a net filtration pressure of about 10 mm Hg. Net filtration pressure forces a large volume of fluid into the capsular space. When blood pressure increase or decreases slightly, changes in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles can actually keep net filtration pressure steady to maintain normal glomerular filtration. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which decreases net filtration pressure. Constriction of the efferent arteriole slows outflow of blood and increases net filtration pressure.
