Preferred Label : renal plasma flow;
MeSH definition : The amount of PLASMA that perfuses the KIDNEYS per unit time, approximately 10% greater
than effective renal plasma flow (RENAL PLASMA FLOW, EFFECTIVE). It should be differentiated
from the RENAL BLOOD FLOW; (RBF), which refers to the total volume of BLOOD flowing
through the renal vasculature, while the renal plasma flow refers to the rate of plasma
flow (RPF).;
MeSH synonym : plasma flow, renal; flow, renal plasma;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with RENAL BLOOD FLOW see RENAL CIRCULATION or RENAL PLASMA FLOW, EFFECTIVE;
Origin ID : D017595;
UMLS CUI : C0206087;
