How many times kidney filters blood per day?

Dr. Tarek Naguib answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

A few hundred: The flow of liquid filtrate from blood into the kidneys is about 180 liters per day, all of which, except a few liters, get reabsorbed back into the blood after having been cleaned. If you consider that the body average blood content is 5-6 liters, then you have your answer.
