Regulation of GFR and RBF
Overview |
---|
- The rate of fluid filtered through the glomerulus, the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), is ultimately dependent on the rate of blood flow through the glomerulus, the Renal Blood Flow (RBF). Given the intimate relationship between these two physiological variables, it is not surprising that their regulation is coordinated through a variety of processes that include both neuroendocrine and intrinsic autoregulatory mechanisms.
