The increased blood pressure will lead to increased glomerular filtration rate and cause a decrease in renin release from the granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidney.

Clearance is a function of glomerular filtration, secretion from the peritubular capillaries to the nephron, and re-absorption from the nephron back to the peritubular capillaries.
43.
When the substance " C " is creatinine, an endogenous chemical that is excreted only by filtration, the calculated clearance is equivalent to the glomerular filtration rate.
44.
Therefore, creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance ( CrCl ), which correlates with the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
45.
It is also reported that this form of calcium increases renal plasma flow, diuresis, natriuresis, glomerular filtration rate, and prostaglandin E2 and F1-alpha levels.
46.
The glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) is used as an index of kidney function and the most frequently used diagnostic test to calculate GFR is the serum creatinine level.
47.
Cortisol acts as a diuretic, increasing water diuresis, glomerular filtration rate, and renal plasma flow from the kidneys, as well as increasing sodium retention and potassium excretion.
48.
The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ).
49.
Sources of noise which decrease fidelity include the addition of proteins derived from other tissues ( or from the biofluid itself ); proteins may also be lost through glomerular filtration.
50.
Regulation of renal blood flow is important to maintaining a stable glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) despite changes in systemic blood pressure ( within about 80-180 mmHg ).
