If the constriction is the afferent arteriole, then the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus is decreased and blood flow is reduced. Released from endothelial cells and diffuses relax vascular smooth muscles cells and cause vasodilatation. Topic 8 . The GFR is measured by determining the renal clearance of creatinine.
