In 24 hours, kidneys filter approximately 150-180 liters of blood plasma through their glomeruli into the tubules.
How do kidneys work?
- Each of your kidneys is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons.
- Each nephron includes a filter (glomerulus) and a tubule.
- The glomerulus filters your blood and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.
- Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery which branches into small blood vessels which enter the nephron.
- In nephron, blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.
- Blood circulates through your kidneys many times a day.
- In a single day, your kidneys filter about 160 liters of blood.
- Most of the water and other substances that filter through your glomeruli are returned to your blood by the tubules.
- Only 1 to 2 liters become urine.
