A member asked:
Does decrease cardiac output cause a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low renal blood flow: Yes, it does. That is why patients with congestive heart failure (chfa) develop edema. The kidney senses this low blood flow and takes steps to increase sodium absorption. This increase in sodium in the body leads to the development of edema. This makes the use of agents that treat this problem necessary.
