A member asked:
Why would a patient in renal failure get decreased cardiac function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other way around: Usually it is the decreased cardiac function that leads to kidney failure due to lack of blood flow. However, the two illnesses in general share many contributing factors like high blood pressure and diabetes.
