Kidney Failure
When insufficient blood is delivered to the kidneys, the kidneys fail to eliminate wastes from the body. [3] If the kidneys don’t have access to adequate amounts of blood, they are unable to properly filter the fluid or receive enough oxygen to function. A properly functioning kidney helps flush out wastes like urea. If the kidney is unable to cleanse the blood, the wastes may be accumulated there, causing organ failure or damage. This damage doesn’t occur immediately but builds up over time. Problems in the kidney that are caused by low blood pressure will cause the kidneys to shut down slowly.
