What is the GFR of each patient?

Patient 1:
1. V = rate of urine production (ml/min) = 1.2
2. U_inulin = amount of inulin excreted in urine each minute (mg/mL) = 15.8
3. P_inulin = plasma inulin (mg/mL) = 0.151
Patient 2:
1. V = rate of urine production (ml/min) = 0.75
2. U_inulin = amount of inulin excreted in urine each minute (mg/mL) = 25.2
3. P_inulin = plasma inulin (mg/mL) = 0.155
Patient 3:
1. 1. V = rate of urine production (ml/min) = 15
  2. U_inulin = amount of inulin excreted in urine each minute (mg/mL) = 1.23
  3. P_inulin = plasma inulin (mg/mL) = 0.154
