Each day your kidneys process around 53 gallons of blood, with around a quarter to a half gallon of waste leaving the body as urine. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood.
If the kidney filters 125ml of blood per minute, then you simply have to multiply 125 x 60 to find the answer of how much it filters in an hour. The answer is 7,500ml of blood.
The kidneys receive about 20-25% of the cardiac output, which equates to roughly 1.2-1.3 liters of blood per minute. This high blood flow is necessary for the kidneys to effectively filter waste and produce urine.
Each day your kidneys process around 100 gallons of blood, with around 50 gallon of waste leaving the body as pee. No water in its pure form goes through the kidneys... only the amount of water that is in the blood. You also get blood by pooping

On average, kidneys filter about 180 liters of blood per day, which is equivalent to around 125-150 ml per minute. This means that kidneys can filter roughly 2-3 liters of blood every hour.
All the blood passes through
In an otherwise healthy person with no cardiac problems, 100-120 cc's/mLs of unfiltered blood enter each kidney and are filtered at the glomerulus per minute. 99% of this is reabsorbed in the tubules, and thus only about .5cc is sent to the bladder per minute. Thus it is true that the average person forms 30cc urine per hour.
