What Effect Does Constricting The Efferent Arteriole Have On The Filtration Process? What effect does constricting the efferent Arteriole have on the filtration process? During efferent arteriole constriction, GFR is increased, but RPF is decreased, resulting in increased filtration fraction. During a state of increased plasma protein concentration such as during multiple myeloma, GFR is
