A200 mL per minute on average
B25 mL per minute on average
C75 mL per minute on average
D125 mL per minute on average
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 125 mL per minute on average
GFR is approximately 125 mL/minute, which equals about 180 litres per day of filtrate.
Of this, about 99% is reabsorbed
only ~1.5 litres is actually voided as urine.
