Summary Introduction

To review:

The equation used for the calculating NFP (net filtration pressure). Also, define each term.

Introduction:

NFP is defined as the total pressure that promotes filtration out of the capillary and into the tissue spaces. It depends on the two pressures that oppose filtration and one pressure that facilitates filtration.

Write the equation for the calculation of net filtration pressure (NFP), and explain the meaning of each term.
Calculate net filtration pressure given the following values: glomerular hydrostatic pressure = 50 mm Hg, blood colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg, capsular hydrostatic pressure = 20 Hg.
Explain how to calculate the net filtration pressure.
