Which one of RBF, GFR, FF is related to the most amount of oxygen that the kidney consume?

  #2

GFR determines the oxygen consumptioin b the kideny not FF

I think it is RBF.....
GFR is 90% of plasma filtration.....not 100%
10% of this goes to supply nutrition to capsule....this is independent on GFR....
Plz correct me if I am wrong..... 8)

GFR is correct!
