I think if blood flow to the kidneys decreased, then the filtration rate of the blood would also decrease. The blood is forced through the anterior arteriole at high hydrostatic pressure- forcing the plasma through the basement membrane of the glomerulus in our kindneys' nephra- the bits that do the filtering.

Which organ does the blood flow through?
There are multiple organs: The brain, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, skeletal muscles, and skeletal muscles during excercise.
What are waste products of the kidney?
The usual biological ones : CO2, water, urea, and traces of other stuff. They're carried off by the local blood flow, then cleared from the blood by the lungs & the kidneys.
Do the veins carry deoxygenated blood?
No. (Not counting the pulmonary veins) the least "deoxygenated" blood is in the renal veins and the jugular. (Neither the brain nor the kidneys use up all the oxygen in their blood supply.) Blood flow to the skin is sometimes controlled by temperature - heat to be lost - and MAY be less desaturated.
What is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to blood flow that occurs in the extremities as opposed to blood that flows to the brain, heart, lungs, and vital organs.

Is there more blood flow to the kidneys in the elderly?
No, there is decreased blood flow to the kidneys with age.
Where does the flow of blood in women and urine pass?
kidneys
Velocity of blood flow decreases if?
Viscosity increases
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
Does blood flow to the kidneys increase during vigorous exercise?
No
What happens to blood flow to kidneys during exercise?
it rises
What would lead to increase erythropoiesis?
A reduced blood flow to the kidneys
What blocks blood flow to the kidneys?
The kidneys need a good blood supply. The main artery to the kidney is called the renal artery. Reduced blood flow through the renal artery can hurt kidney function. A complete blockage of blood flow to the kidney can often result in permanent kidney failure.
Would vasoconstriction of the renal arteries decrease blood flow to the kidneys?
Yes. If you constrict the afferent arteriole then renal blood flow will decrease.
Why does blood flow slowly in a kidney during a vigorous exercise?
Blood flow to the kidneys and abdomen decreases duringexercise because the muscles need more oxygen, and so, the blood vessels in them dilate. This causes more blood to go to the muscles, leaving less blood in the rest of the body.
As the blood moves away away from the heart does the blood pressure increase or decrese?
The pressure decreases as it moves away from the heart.
How much gallons of blood flow through your kidneys almost everyday?
