Video Summary
Prerenal azotemia is a form of azotemia in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood, due to reduced renal perfusion. This can be caused by dehydration, excessive blood loss, heart failure, or any condition that decreases blood flow to the kidneys. Treatment of prerenal azotemia focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as increasing fluid intake or treating the underlying condition.
