Ischemic Kidney Disease

Ischemic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys do not receive enough blood flow, leading to reduced oxygen and nutrients necessary for their proper function. This can result from conditions like heart disease, severe dehydration, or narrowing of blood vessels. The lack of adequate blood supply can damage kidney tissue over time, impairing their ability to filter waste and balance fluids. Symptoms may include swelling, hypertension, and changes in urine output. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term damage and maintain kidney health.
