Filtration at the glomerulus is inversely related to (a) water reabsorption, (b) capsular hydrostatic pressure, (c) arterial blood pressure, (d) acidity of the urine.
Constriction of the efferent arteriole of the renal corpuscle will cause glomerular hydrostatic pressure to rise.

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure) is higher than in most parts of the body in order to: form filtrate for nephron processing. reabsorb calcium from the filtrate. increase blood pressure throughout the body. create the medullary osmotic gradient.
