A/BNP increase GFR, decrease renal blood flow and blood pressure, and increase urine flow rate and sodium excretion but have a greater decreasing effect on distal as compared to proximal tubule sodium transport.
However, because of their gastro-intestinal and cardio-renal side effects, they should be avoided for prolonged use in CKD, as these agents may decrease renal blood flow and may precipitate acute renal failure and can cause life-threatening hyperkalemia.
These results are supported by those of Wauters et al., who showed that IAH is associated with decreased renal blood flow and blood flow redistribution away from the kidney [26].

The detailed mechanisms of faster tracheal extubation associated with higher body temperature remain unknown, but it is possible that the effects of anesthetics are prolonged by decreased hepatic flow, hypometabolic state, and decreased renal blood flow and clearance in hypothermia.
Tolvaptan also increased renal blood flow, whereas furosemide administration resulted in decreased renal blood flow compared with placebo.
Koning and coworkers analyzed the effects of intermittent positive airway pressure (IPPV) and spontaneous ventilation on cardiac output, renal blood flow, creatinine clearance, and urinary electrolyte excretion and observed decreased renal blood flow and creatinine clearance during IPPV conditions that partially improved during spontaneous ventilation.
In a model of endotoxaemia, ECSOD expression was decreased and was consequently associated with decreased renal blood flow [12, 24].
In the same model, angiotensin II infusion decreased renal blood flow while markedly increasing diuresis and normalizing creatinine clearance [79].
Established ATN is associated with a decreased renal blood flow and subsequently reduced GFR and even anuria [23].
