TABLE 1.

The RVR determination as the sum of the resistances of separate vessels: A, interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular arteries; B, afferent arterioles; C, glomerular capillaries; D, efferent arterioles; E, peritubular capillaries; F, interlobar, interlobular, and arcuate veins.

The parts of RVR suggested by Gómez (1951) can be evaluated clinically. Thus, we used the same division in our model. The individual vasculature segments taken into account in the corresponding studies are marked with a plus sign and colored green.
