Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A)Heart failure is one possible cause of prerenal kidney failure due to low cardiac output. In comparison, causes of prerenal kidney failure due to hypovolemia include hemorrhage, dehydration, burns, wounds, and excess fluid loss from the gastrointestinal tract. Causes of intrarenal kidney failure due to glomerular injury include glomerulonephritis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, vasculitis, hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Finally, causes of intrarenal kidney failure due to acute tubular necrosis include ischemia resulting from conditions associated with prerenal failure, toxins, hemolysis, and rhabdomyolysis.
