Question

In approximately how many minutes, the whole blood of the body is filtered through the kidneys?

• A. 10 minutes
• B. 7 minutes
• C. 4-5 minutes
• D. 2 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 4-5 minutes

• As we know that our kidney filters approximately 1100-1200 ml of the blood per minute and our cardiac output is 5 times this volume, therefore our kidneys take approximately 4-5 minutes to filter the whole blood of the body.
