[[Glomerular filtration rate]] depends on multiple factors, particularly the [[renal blood flow]]. The pressure difference across the renal vasculature i.e the difference in pressure between the renal arterioles and venules is directly proportional to the [[GFR]]. Any decrease in [[renal blood flow]], injury to the renal tubules or obstruction to the urinary tract outflow can cause decreased urinary output.

Overview

Glomerular filtration rate depends on multiple factors, particularly the renal blood flow. The pressure difference across the renal vasculature i.e the difference in pressure between the renal arterioles and venules is directly proportional to the GFR. Any decrease in renal blood flow, injury to the renal tubules or obstruction to the urinary tract outflow can cause decreased urinary output.

Causes

Common Causes

Acute renal failure is usually categorised (as in the flowchart below) according to pre-renal, renal and post-renal causes.
