    The role of venous congestion in abnormal kidney function is being increasingly recognized. It is well known that unresolved congestion is associated with adverse kidney and overall outcomes in patients with heart failure. Similarly, any condition that leads to elevated central venous pressure, such as pulmonary hypertension, can result in impaired kidney perfusion by increasing its afterload….
