blood
Entire kidney
Each day your kidneys process around 100 gallons of blood, with around 50 gallon of waste leaving the body as pee. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood. You also get blood by pooping
A total of 425 gallons or 1609 liters of blood passes through our kidneys every day. Approximately a quarter of our total blood is in our kidney at a time and the entire blood is cleaned every 50 minutes.
From the capillaries of the kidney, deoxygenated blood flows through the renal vein. The renal vein empties directly into the inferior vena cava which carries the blood back to the heart.
1250ml/min - Blood flows to the kidneys through the right and left renal arteries. Inside each kidney these branch into smaller arterioles. The blood is at very high pressure and flows through the arterioles into tiny knot of vessels called the Glomerulus. These are located in the nephrons. From the glomerulus the blood pressure drops and the blood flows into arterioles which coil around the nephrons. These in turn connect to a series of small veins. These vessels reunite and ultimately form the renal vein.

On average, around 1,400 liters of blood flows through the kidneys each day. This blood is filtered to remove waste products and excess fluid, ultimately forming urine.
Blood flows to the kidney through the renal artery. Once in the kidney the blood flows through a series of smaller and smaller arteries until it gets to the glomerulus. The glomerulus filters blood and to be very simplistic creates a filtrate of the blood or "urine". This urine then flows through a series of progressively bigger tubules and ducts until it gets to the renal pelvis. At this point urine exits the kidney, it enters the ureter (long tube connecting kidney and bladder), and flows into the bladder where it is held until one desires to urinate. At this time urine flows out of the bladder and into the urethra. The urethra connects the bladder to the outside of the body.
Each day your kidneys process around 53 gallons of blood, with around a quarter to a half gallon of waste leaving the body as urine. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood.
Connective tissue flows through the heart and blood vessels.
The average velocity of the blood as it flows through a capillary is 0.00047 m/s.
