Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Ruptured aneurysm and cardiac arrests affect kidneys by decreasing the blood flow to the kidneys, called as pre-renal failure. If the blood flow was restored fat enough, the kidney function will revert back to normal. However, prolonged deprivation of blood supply to the kidneys can result in long-term kidney dysfunction.
