The preferential increase in efferent resistance mediated by angiotensin II results in increased glomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, which maintains the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
What does Raas do to GFR?
The RAS is integrally involved in regulating GFR and enhancing sodium chloride and water reabsorption in proximal and distal nephron segments. The final outcome is a reduction in salt and water excretion and preservation of ECF volume and blood pressure.
What causes GFR to increase?
Increased blood volume and increased blood pressure will increase GFR. Constriction in the afferent arterioles going into the glomerulus and dilation of the efferent arterioles coming out of the glomerulus will decrease GFR.
