Abstract
Understanding the endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine mechanisms involved in the regulation of renal hemodynamics has proven an elusive quest (1). What has emerged, however, is a greater appreciation for the elegance and complexity of the renal microcirculation, which provides exquisite control of renal vascular resistance.
