    ANATOMY OF HEART RELATED TO KIDNEY

    Definition of heart :
    The heart is a roughly cone-shaped hollow muscular
    organs.
    Its about 10cm long and is about the size of the
    owners fist.
    It weight about 225g in women and is heavier in men
    (310 g).
    LOCATION
    The heart lies in the thoracic cavity between the lung
    ORGAN ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEART
    Inferior : The apex rests on the central tendon of the
    diaphragm.
    Superior : The great blood vessels in the aorta, superior
    vena cava, pulmonary artery and pulmonary
    veins.
    Posterior : The esophagus, trachea, left and right
    bronchus, descending aorta, inferior vena cava
    and thoracic vertebrae.
    Lateral : The lung- the left lung overlaps the left side of
    the heart.
    Anterior : The sternum, ribs and intercostal muscles.
    HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
    The heart job is to send a continuous supply of
    oxygenated blood around the body.
    The kidney filter the blood extracting waste in the form of
    urine.
    Also helps regulated the water and salt level to control
    blood pressure.
    Relatively heart failure is a significant risk factor of kidney
    disease.
    When the heart is no longer pumping efficiently it become
    congested with the blood, causing pressure to build up in
    the main vein connected to the kidney and leading to
    congestion of blood in the kidney.
    The kidney also suffer from the reduced supply of
    oxygenated blood.
    When the kidney become impaired, the hormone
    system which regulated blood pressure goes into
    overdrive in an attempt to increase blood supply to the
    kidney.
    The heart then has to pump against higher pressure in
    the arteries and eventually suffers from the increase in
    workload.
    HEART PROBLEM RELATED TO KIDNEY
    FAILURE
    How are kidney disease share two of the same main causes
    Diabetes
    Heart blood pressure

    Diabetes
    High blood glucose from diabetes can damage your blood
    vessels and the nerve that control your heart and blood
    vessels.
    The longer you have diabetes, the higher chances that you will
    develop heart disease.
    People with diabetes tent to develop heart disease at a
    younger age than people without diabetes.
    In adult with diabetes the most common causes of death are
    heart disease and stroke.
    High blood pressure
    Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against
    the wall of your blood vessels.
    With high blood pressure your heart work harder to pump
    blood which is strain your heart.
    High blood pressure can damaged your blood vessels.
    If high blood pressure damages the small blood vessels in
    your kidney, your kidney will not filter your blood as well
    as they should.
    High blood pressure is not only a causes of kidney
    disease.
    When you have damaged kidney may be unable to filter
    extra water and salt from your body.
    CARDIOMEGALY
    Cardiomegaly is a medical condition in which the heart
    is enlarged.
    It is more commonly referred to as an enlarged heart.
    The causes of cardiomegaly may vary.
    Many times this condition result from high blood
    pressure (hypertension) or coronary artery disease.
    INTRAVASCULAR FLUID OVERLOAD
    The opposite condition is hypovolemic, which is too little
    fluid volume in the blood.
    Fluid volume excess in the intravascular compartment
    occurs due to an increase in total body sodium content
    an a consequent increase in extracellular body water.
