Filtration coefficient

Filtration coefficient (Kf) a measure of a membrane's permeability to water; specifically, the volume of fluid filtered in unit time through a unit area of membrane per unit pressure difference, and it defined as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for both kidney per millimeter of mercury (mmHg) of filtration pressure. ^[1]

Semipermeable membrane

A semipermeable membrane is a type of biological or synthetic, polymeric membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion—or occasionally by more specialized processes of facilitated diffusion, passive transport or active transport.
