2 Figure 1 Global and single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The sketch on the left (a) depicts the normal situation, and the 10 nephrons in the figure represent the average number of nephrons per kidney (106). The sketches on the right represent a situation of global hyperfiltration where all nephrons hyperfilter (b) and the typical situation that occurs in moderate to severe chronic kidney disease, i.e., a reduced number of functioning nephrons, all hyperfiltering (c).
