Starling equation is commonly used for calculation of GFR, it has an array of weak points, however:
- some of their factors are not mutually independent
- it presupposes constant pressures along the
capillary; futher, that we know the extent of
- it does not encompass the share of perfusion in
The hydrostatic pressure in the capillary is conditioned by a relatively complicated interplay of afferent and efferent pressures and resistence (Figs.23,24)
