'''The Limitations of Autoregulation'''

Despite the efforts of the autoregulatory system an increase in blood pressure still leads to an increased secretion of salt and water.  This is because even a small percentage change in GFR leads to large percentage change in the excretion of salt and water.  This excretion is however far less drastic than would be the case without autoregulation and actually helps to restore pressure to normal.  This increase in urinary output as a result of an increase in arterial blood pressure is termed [[Kidney - Blood Pressure - Anatomy & Physiology#Pressure Diuresis|pressure diuresis]].
