Which of the following causes increase in both GFR and renal plasma flow?
High-Yield Explanation
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman&;s capsule per unit time.Renal plasma flows (RPF) the amount of plasma that perfuses the kidneys per unit time. Approximately 90% of the total constitutes the effective renal plasma flow, the poion that perfuses functional renal tissue, such as the glomeruli.Ref: Ganong&;s review of medical physiology; 24th edition; page no; 680
