direct measurements of the pressures and flows governing the formation of glomerular ultrafiltrate have been made possible in recent years by virtue of 1 ) the discovery of rats and monkeys possessing glomerular capillaries on the renal cortical surface , accessible to micropuncture , and 2 ) technological advances that permit measurement of intracapillary hydraulic pressure and assessment of the change in colloid osmotic pressure along the glomerular capillary network .
