An ace inhibitor would techincally help dilate the vessels and promote blood flow. Why does blood flow decrease Total renal function". • No pure imaging method works" • Best is to measure GFR with Cr-51-. EDTA or Tc- 99m-DTPA and blood sampling." • Single-kidney GFR from total + divided function." Renal Blood Flow". • No good measure of absolute RBF." • Renal blood flow (#RBF#) is the volume of blood delivered to the kidneys per unit time. Instead, it is estimated from the effective renal plasma flow (#ERPF#), which is the amount of plasma cleared of p-aminohippuric acid (#PAH#) per unit time. Renal blood flow diagram
