Results for glomerular filtration tests are reported in:

- Milliliters per minute
- Milliliters per 24 hours
- Milligrams per deciliter
- Milliequivalents per liter

Answer :

Results for glomerular filtration tests are reported in 1) Milliliters per minute.

The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. It estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. The higher the GFR number, the better your kidneys are working.

Results for glomerular filtration tests are typically reported in milliliters per minute (mL/min). This unit represents the volume of blood filtered by the kidneys per minute. For example, the average GFR in men is about 125 mL/min, while in women, it is about 105 mL/min.

  1. Milliliters per 24 hours: This unit measures total volume over a day and does not capture the rate per minute.

  2. Milligrams per deciliter: This unit is typically used to measure concentration of substances in the blood, like glucose or cholesterol, not the filtration rate.

  3. Milliequivalents per liter: This unit is used to measure the concentrations of electrolytes in the blood, not the filtration rate.
