What is the driving force for glomerular filtration?

What is the driving force for glomerular filtration? Correct Answer Hydrostatic pressure of blood flow

Glomerular filtration is the 1st filtration in the urinary excretion. The driving force for filtration is the hydrostatic pressure of the blood flowing in the capillaries. 1.2 l/min of blood flows through the renal artery. The filtration rate is 120-130 ml/min through the glomeruli.
