The Claim
Single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) averaged 61.0 ± 23.9 nL/min in healthy Japanese kidney donors with normal renal function, representing the first direct measurement of this parameter in living humans using combined computed tomography and biopsy methods.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists measured how fast tiny filters in the kidneys work in healthy people, and it's the first time they've directly checked this in living humans using special scans and tissue samples.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Dietary Protein Intake and Single-Nephron Glomerular Filtration Rate
The study directly measured the same thing in the same group of people as the claim, so it supports the claim.
