Question

What clinical effects would high blood pressure have on the kidneys of a bedridden patient?

Answer 1

It would also cause a decrease in the amount of blood delivered to the kidneys overtime. When there is a high amount of blood flowing to the kidneys this can damage the arteries and cause them to narrow and eventually burst, and cause them to not receive enough blood. It eventually can cause renal failure

Answer 2

I think it would cause more urine production and more water secretion into urine. The reasoning is that Glomerular pressure of water into kidney would rise with increased blood pressure causing more H2O to pass across

Whether the podocytes on the kidney would counteract this is unknown
