Explanation:
This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day. Thus, the entire plasma volume (about 3 liters) is filtered 60 times a day! Filtration is primarily driven by hydraulic pressure (blood pressure) in the capillaries of the glomerulus.

Answer:
The kidneys filter that blood about 40 times to 60 times a day.
Explanation:
- The bulk transport of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle is referred to as filtration.
- At any given time, about 20% of the plasma volume travelling through the glomerulus is filtered.
- This means that the kidneys filter around 180 litres of fluid per day. As a result, the entire amount of plasma (about 3 litres) is filtered 60 times per day.
- Hydraulic pressure (blood pressure) in the capillaries of the glomerulus drives filtration.
