Normal filtration fraction is around:

A
0.05
B
0.1
C
0.2
D
None of the above
High-Yield Explanation
The ratio of the GFR to the RPF, the filtration fraction, is normally 0.16 to 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.
