Heavy bleeding after childbirth (postpartum haemorrhage) Heavy bleeding after childbirth is also known as postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), and is an emergency complication of childbirth. Postpartum haemorrhage is defined as a loss of 500ml or more blood from the genital tract in the first 24 hours after giving birth.
The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems.They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.he afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems.
In contrast, constriction of the efferent arteriole decreases blood flow out of the glomerulus, and this increases the glomerular hydrostatic pressure and leads to an increase in GFR. Both the afferent and efferent arterioles are regulated through hormones (and drugs that inhibit the hormones).he afferent arteriole is in red, and the efferent arteriole in blue. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) depends on the pressure difference between the two, which affects the hydrostatic pressure at the glomerulus.
