Question

How much blood flows through the kidney per minute?

Answer 1

Ninety-nine percent of this filtrate is returned to the circulation by reabsorption so that only about 1–2 liters of urine are produced per day . Cardiac output is about 5000 mL/minute, of which 21 percent flows through the kidney. Renal plasma flow equals the blood flow per minute times the hematocrit.

Answer 2

Aproxx 1100-1200 ml of blood is filtered per min but it depends on kidney capacity greatly
