Calculate the net filtration pressure if the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus is 58 mm Hg, the colloid oncotic pressure is 25 mm Hg, and the pressure of the filtrate in Bowman's capsule is 15 mm Hg. Report your value to the nearest whole mm Hg.

Given the following measurements, calculate the filtration fraction: Glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure 70 mm Hg, Hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's space = 15 mm Hg, Colloid osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries = 35 mm Hg, Renal plasma flow 800 mL/min, Glomerular capillary filtration coefficient 4 mL/min/mm Hg.

Given the following pressures on the arterial end of a capillary, calculate the NET pressure and determine if this pressure is in favor of filtration or reabsorption. Blood pressure: 30 mmHg Hydrostatic pressure in the tissues: -3 mmHg Colloid Osmotic Pressure in capillary: 28 mmHg Colloid Osmotic Pressure in tissue: 8 mmHg
