In a normal individual, filtration fraction varies from:
assistant
The correct answer is  The ratio of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to the renal plasma flow (RPF), the filtration fraction, is normally 0.16-0.20. The GFR varies less than the RPF. When there is a fall in systemic blood pressure, the GFR falls less than the RPF because of efferent aeriolar constriction, and consequently the filtration fraction rises.
