Decreased Renal Perfusion
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When signs appear that the kidneys are receiving less blood than usual, it is advisable to seek an assessment promptly, since blood flow is essential for them to filter properly. Decreased renal perfusion describes precisely that reduction in the blood supply to the kidney.
What is it? It is not a single disease but a situation in which renal blood flow drops, which can compromise the organ's ability to filter and maintain fluid balance.
Common causes: Significant dehydration, drops in blood pressure, heart problems, or narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidney.
Which specialist handles it? The nephrologist is the one who studies this condition, and the pediatric nephrologist when it occurs in childhood. In the case of decreased urine, swelling, or unexplained tiredness, it is advisable to have a professional review the case thoroughly.
