Fig. 1 Changes in renal plasma flow (RPF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and urine sodium excretion (U Na) induced by alterations in renal arterial pressure. Expression n normal indicates that normal sodium excretion is increased by the factor n-numbers given in ordinate. (From Romero and associates.2 By permission.)
