MeSH Heading: Renal Plasma Flow, Effective
Tree Number(s): G08.852.725.750; G09.330.100.812.750
Unique ID: D017596
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017596
Annotation: do not confuse with RENAL PLASMA FLOW or RENAL BLOOD FLOW, EFFECTIVE
Scope Note: The amount of PLASMA flowing to the parts of the KIDNEY that function in the production of urine. It is the amount of plasma perfusing the KIDNEY TUBULES per unit time, generally measured by P-AMINOHIPPURATE clearance. It should be differentiated from RENAL PLASMA FLOW which is approximately 10% greater than the effective renal plasma flow.
Entry Term(s): ERPF; Effective Renal Plasma Flow; Plasma Flow, Renal, Effective
