    Study Notes

    Renal Function Regulation

    • Afferent Arteriole Constriction: Decreases glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
    • Efferent Arteriole Constriction (with Angiotensin 2): Increases GFR.
    • Increased plasma protein concentration: Decreases GFR.
    • Decreased plasma protein concentration: Increases GFR.
    • Ureter constriction: Decreases GFR.
    • Dehydration: Decreases GFR.
    • Prostaglandins (Afferent arteriole dilation): Increases GFR.
    • Angiotensin 2: Decreases Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) and increases GFR.
    • Increased Plasma Protein Concentration: Decreases Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).
    • Decreased Plasma Protein Concentration: Increases GFR.
    • Afferent Arteriole Constriction: Decreases GFR.
