What Factors Influence Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)?
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is influenced by several factors such as blood pressure within the glomerular capillaries, the permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, and the surface area available for filtration. Hormones like angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) also play a role in regulating GFR.
