Caused by Disease of Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
