The key physiological parameters that determine glomerular filtration rate levels are renal plasma flow, filtration fraction, intraglomerular pressure, and balance between afferent and efferent glomerular arteriolar resistance. The evaluation of the balance between afferent and efferent glomerular arteriolar resistance might be useful for the classification of diabetic kidney disease.
