Renal: Mechanism, presentation and diagnostic tests of - GFR = sum of GFRs in all functioning nephrons, so  # of functional nephrons =  GFR - BP in glomerular capillaries > BP in Bowman’s space ( Hydrostatic pressure gradient) - Renal auto-regulation to preserve GFR when BP/Volume drops: RAAS activated → dilutss Afferent (Approaching) arteriole dilates to increase perfusion to nephron, and Efferent (Exiting) arteriole constricts so less blood leaves nephron - Estimating...
