Cysts on the kidney can press upon nephrons, increasing the pressure inside the nephrons. How will this affect glomerular filtration rate and blood pressure? GFR increases and blood pressure increases GFR increases and blood pressure decreases GFR decreases and blood pressure increases GFR decreases and blood pressure decreases
