A member asked:
Is there a link between kidney disease and heart disease?

Indirect link: Some kinds of kidney disease and heart disease share the same causes and risk factors. A weak heart can affect kidney function. If the kidneys fail it can cause the heart to get overloaded with too much blood volume. The kidneys and heart have a very close relationship.
