If you have a hemorragic shock , what will happen to your RBF ( renal blood flow ) and GFR?

  #2

will cause vasoconstriction , increases the tpr, as ne will be released , and hence renal blood flow will decrease and also the gfr

  #3

The only thing that'd increase in this situation wud be the filtration fraction , cos the flow is decreased. (yeah yeah i know u didnt ask... but i cudnt help putting it in sticking out tongue )

  #4

well as long as the hemm. is not very extensive, RBF remains constant. remember Cathecholamines REDIRECT blood from less important organs to vital organs such as kidney and brain. but if the blood volume drops critically, then RBF also dies down.
