Regulation of GFR
Physiologically, GFR is auto-regulated very precisely with changes in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) (see figure below). Mechanisms of auto-regulation include: myogenic, tubuloglomerular, and the neuro-hormonal feedback.
- Myogenic mechanisms
- Tubuloglomerular feedback
- Neuro-hormonal feedback
