<span>Decrease. Net filtration is the equilibrium force that can be measured in the capsular space of the renal corpuscle. This determines how much water and small dissolved solutes leave the blood in the glomerulus. The equation for net filtration is: (IFOP); NFP = GBHP - (CHP + BCOP). The Net Filtration is generally around 10 mm Hg.</span>
