Which of the following formulas will allow you to calculate correctly the net filtration pressure (NFP)?(Hint: CsHP is capsular hydrostatic pressure.)
A) FP = GHP + CsHP - BCOP
B) FP = GHP - (CsHP + BCOP)
C) FP = CsHP + GHP - BCOP
D) FP = BCOP - GHP + CsHP
E) FP = BCOP + (GHP - CsHP)

Question

The net filtration pressure (NFP) is calculated by taking the glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) and subtracting the sum of the capsular hydrostatic pressure (CsHP) and the blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP). This is accurately represented by the formula FP = GHP - (CsHP + BCOP).
