The pressure in the glomerulus that tends to favour filtration is known as the glomerular capillary pressure.

Glomerular capillary pressure is the main force in producing glomerular filtration and it is a fluid pressure exerted by blood within glomerular capillaries. It depends on hear contraction and resistance to blood flow by afferent and efferent arterioles in the kidney.
