para-Aminohippurate (PAH) is a substance used in the measurement of renal blood flow. It is useful in this measurement because it is primarily secreted by the renal tubules; only 20-30% is filtered by the glomerulus.[1]
The renal extraction ratio of PAH is a normal individual is approximately 0.92.[2]
