The amount of plasma flowing to the parts of the kidney that have a function in the production of constituents of urine. It is the amount of plasma perfusing the kidney tubules per unit time, generally measured by p-aminohippurate clearance. It should be differentiated from RENAL PLASMA FLOW which is approximately 10% greater than the effective renal plasma flow. (Stedman, 25th ed; Dorland, 27th ed)
