In a normal individual, filtration fraction varies from:

A
0.16 - 0.20
B
2.0 - 4.0
C
0.5 - 0.7
D
0.9 - 1.1
High-Yield Explanation
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.
