Regulation of Renal Function (page 387)
Adaptive Changes:
- Glomerular hyperfiltration (increased GFR per nephron) nephron loss. ( may progress to chronic renal failure).
- Neural and Hormonal regulation: low perfusion results in afferent arteriolar vasodilation and efferent arteriolar vasconstriction
- Alteration in Na systemic balance
- Renal nerve (sympathetic)
