Biological Activity

Inulin is a natural plant-derived fructosan polysaccharide that serves as a diagnostic marker for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As an indigestible carbohydrate, inulin is freely filtered by the renal glomerulus without undergoing tubular secretion, reabsorption, or systemic metabolism. Consequently, its renal clearance rate directly reflects physiological kidney filtration performance and overall renal function.
