Summary Introduction

Introduction:

GF (Glomerular Filtration) is the primary step of urine production. It is the name given to the collective steps which are used by kidneys to filter out the excess fluids and waste products into the tubules that collect the urine and out of the blood. This way they can get eliminated from the body. The filtration occurs through the apparatus known as the “glomerular capsule”.
