Figure 37-5
Schematic representation of the mechanisms that initiate
and maintain decreased glomerular filtration seen in experimentally induced acute
renal failure. GFR, glomerular filtration rate; Kf
, glomerular capillary
ultrafiltration coefficient; RBF, renal blood flow. (Adapted from Hostetter
TH, Wilkes BM, Brenner BM: Mechanisms of impaired glomerular filtration in acute
renal failure. In Brenner BM, Stein JH [eds]: Acute
Renal Failure. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1980, p 52.)
