  • Reduction in GFR causes stimulation of RAAS 
  • RAAS is Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System 
  • Low GFR activates JG cells to secrete Renin 
  • Renin then forms Angiotensin I and II
  • Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor 
  • This causes increase in blood pressure 
  • Angiotensin II also causes release of Aldosterone that controls water and electrolyte balance
  • Thus GFR is increased
  • ANF from heart controls the incresed GFR
