Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) in buffalo species ( Bubalus bubalis ) were estimated using a single injection technique. The total body clearances of inulin and para‐aminohippuric acid (PAH) served as estimates of GFR and ERPF, respectively. Inulin and PAH were administered to animals as a single i.v. bolus. The time—concentration curves were determined for each compound. Three mathematical models were applied to the data. The two compartment model gave the best fit to the data. The single compartment model gave slightly higher values, but could be used in clinical and certain research situations to estimate renal functions when it is not practical to take large number of samples.
