|
|
effect of prostaglandins on renal blood flow

|
effect of angiotensin II on renal blood flow
|
angiotensin II constricts efferent arterioles (which will increase GFR but decrease RPF, so FF increases)
**note that since ACE inhibitors will inhibit the formation of angiotension II, they will indirectly dilate the efferent arterioles, thus decreasing GFR, increasing RPF, and decreasing FF |
|

|
dilation of the afferents: increase GFR, increase RPF, FF stays the same
constriction of the afferents: decrease GFR. decrease RPF, FF stays the same |

constriction of the efferents: increase GFR, decrease RPF, increase FF |
|

|
constriction/obstruction of the ureter decreases the GFR (RPF stays the same, thus FF decreases)
