Renal clearance is comparison of ❌ rate of a substance to the rate of it's appearance in the ❌ i.e. Amount ❌ vs amount ❌. It gives info on ❌ and ❌
What percentage of clearance?
Renal clearance principle is based on the principle of ❌ ❌. Input of X is ❌ output of X
fill in the formula
Tm for PAH secretory mechanism ~80mg/ml. PPAH ❌ 80mg/ml = good estimation of RPF PPAH ❌ 80mg/ml = poor estimation of RPF At ❌ ❌: ❌ clearance ❌ RPF
