Why is urine output decreased during hypovolemic shock?
If the kidneys are getting enough blood to function well they concentrate the urine in an effort to correct the low blood volume. In more severe cases they cannot make much urine because they are not getting enough blood flow.
How do you increase blood flow to the kidneys?
You can increase blood flow to the kidneys by staying hydrated, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes that can affect kidney function. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also help improve blood flow to the kidneys.
What is the term for decreased blood flow?
Ischemia is the medical term for decreased blood flow. Ischemia limits the supply of oxygen to tissues.
Does blood flow to the kidneys increase during vigorous exercise?
Yes, blood flow to the kidneys typically increases during vigorous exercise to help meet the increased oxygen demand of the muscles. This increased blood flow helps the kidneys maintain proper filtration rates even during intense physical activity.
Why do our kidneys have a higher blood flow than the brain?
The kidneys have a higher blood flow than the brain because their main function is to filter blood and remove waste products from the body. This requires a large amount of blood to be processed by the kidneys. In contrast, the brain's main function is not filtration but instead relies on a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients for energy.
Is there more blood flow to the kidneys in the elderly?
No, there is decreased blood flow to the kidneys with age.
What would experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
no it actually stimulates blood flow
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
What would lead to increase erythropoiesis?
A reduced blood flow to the kidneys
Would skeletal muscles experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
I could be wrong but, I think it would decrease your blood flow
Would your skin experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
no
What happend when blood flow to the kidneys decreases?
I think if blood flow to the kidneys decreased, then the filtration rate of the blood would also decrease. The blood is forced through the anterior arteriole at high hydrostatic pressure- forcing the plasma through the basement membrane of the glomerulus in our kindneys' nephra- the bits that do the filtering.
Would vasoconstriction of the renal arteries decrease blood flow to the kidneys?
Yes. If you constrict the afferent arteriole then renal blood flow will decrease.
Why does decreased pulmonary blood flow cause cyanosis?
Decreased pulmonary blood flow alone does not cause cyanosis. It is when decreased pulmonary blood flow is associated with right to left shunting (ie Tetralogy of fallot) that it is associated with cyanosis.
Where does the flow of blood in women and urine pass?
kidneys
Why is urine output decreased during hypovolemic shock?
If the kidneys are getting enough blood to function well they concentrate the urine in an effort to correct the low blood volume. In more severe cases they cannot make much urine because they are not getting enough blood flow.
