What Is Renal Failure?
3. Low Blood Flow to Kidneys
There are a few things that can cause renal failure. The most common is that blood is unable to reach the kidneys as it should. The causes of this decreased flow may be attributed to another health problem.
When the heart is unable to pump blood through the body, it does not make it to the kidneys for filtration. Thus, a heart attack or heart disease may be the primary cause of renal failure. An injury or underlying condition that causes massive loss of fluid or blood from the body may also lead to renal failure.
