A member asked:

What effect could low blood pressure have on renal function?

Dr. Tarek Naguib answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Much effect: A very low blood pressure that requires admission to the hospital may well cause kidney temporary shut down. But mild decrease in blood pressure may be tolerable by most people.
