Keywords:
Renal filtration, Glomerular filtration, Glomerular filtration rate, Renal corpuscle, Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Filtration barrier, Podocytes, Basement membrane, Starling forcesAbstract
Renal filtration (also called glomerular filtration) is the first and one of the most important steps in urine formation. It occurs in the kidneys’ functional units, the nephrons, and ensures the removal of metabolic waste products while maintaining the body’s fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base balance. Renal filtration enables the continuous cleansing of blood and contributes significantly to homeostasis
