Essential to maintain a precise balance between
GFR and tubular reabsorption.

TGF Response: Autoregulation of GFR. (3)
Keeps GFR constant
Afferent and Efferent arteriolar resistance related to flow rate of NaCl by macula
densa
Example: GFR increase-increased NaCl to macula densa- TGF response decreases
GFR
Glomerular Tubule Balance (GTB): Autoregulation
of PT reabsorption rate (4)
PT reabsorption rate related to tubular load
As tubular LOAD increases, rate of
REABSORPTION increases.
Depends on changes in peritubular capillary and
renal interstitial fluid Starling’s forces.
Example: GFR increase-GT balance increases PT
Na+/H20 reabsorption to maintain Na+/H20
balance
Together these two mechanisms help to
prevent overloading of the distal tubule
segment when GFR increases due to pressure changes or other disturbances

Homeostasis
Small increases in MAP can cause marked increases in urinary (2)
Na+ and H2O excretion.
Mechanisms not understood
Normal kidney function and pressure natriuresis mechanisms assure that
large changes in salt and water intake accommodated with only minor changes in ECF volume, CO, and MAP
