What is Understanding Renal Perfusion and Filtration about?
The kidneys maintain water and electrolyte balance through regulating excretion and reabsorption. The kidneys filter blood at the glomerulus and reabsorb and secrete substances along the nephron tubules to produce urine. Renal blood flow is precisely controlled to sustain filtration and regulate fluid volumes and composition. Glomerular filtration rate depends on glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure and is regulated through the renal arteries and arterioles.
