Why is Renal Blood Flow= Renal Plasma Flow/ (1-Hematocrit) wouldn't it make more sense for it to be Renal Blood Flow=Renal Plasma Flow * (1-Hematocrit) because 1-Hematocrit= fraction of blood volume that is plasma?

So I know the general consensus for DO students to match EM is to take step one. But I wanted to know how much it will hurt my chances if I only take step 2. My COMLEX I is mid 550s and I decided to wait a bit to take step I cause I wasn't scorning where I wanted to on NBMEs. I was under the...
