If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus decreases, it would lead to vasoconstriction, which would result in a decrease in glomerular filtration rate and net filtration pressure, as well as a decrease in urine output. However, systemic blood pressure would not necessarily be affected by this localized vasoconstriction.
