The properties of filtrate in the glomerular capsule are normally very similar to that of blood plasma except for the lack of Proteins.
<h3>Properties of filtrate in the glomerular capsule</h3>
The kidneys filter 1100–1200 cc of blood every minute on average. Three layers of blood are filtered as a result of glomerular blood pressure.
Bowman's capsule epithelium, glomerular blood vessel endothelium, and the basement membrane between these three layers.
The filtration membrane is composed of these three entities.
These membranes filter the blood so thoroughly that all but a small portion of the plasma's components enter the bowman's capsule's lumen.
Additionally, both of them contain diverse electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions as well as glucose, creatinine, urea, and uric acid except for proteins. This procedure is hence termed ultrafiltration.
