Dr. Inscho is an expert on the mechanisms governing blood flow in the kidney, specifically, the mediators and modulators of renal blood flow autoregulation. Autoregulation is the abiliy of the kidney to keep blood flow constant during changes in arterial blood pressure, which is vital because of the harmful effects of high arterial blood pressure, a major contributor to chronic renal failure. Autoregulation is also involved in glomerular filtration, tubular absorption, and medullary perfusion.
