Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The normal range of Kidney Glomerular Filtration Rate is 100 to 130 mL/min/1.73m2 in men and 90 to 120mL/min/1.73m2 in women below 40. GFR decreases progressively after the age of 40 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a healthy person, the GFR is about 125 ml/min which makes 180 liters per day. Of the 180 liters of filtrate formed per day, only 1.5 liters is passed through the urethra as urine, rest of it is reabsorbed by the tubules of nephron.
