↓ renal blood flow d/t:
1) ↓ ECF volume (volume depletion)
2) ↓ effective ECF volume (volume overloaded - CHF - but not getting to kidneys; fluid shift to interstitial space - liver ds)
3) disruption of hemodynamics/autoregulation
-drugs (NSAIDs, RAAS blockers)
-endogenous mediators (accumulation of vasoactive compounds in liver failure - hepatorenal syndrome)
NB: could be losing Na or ↓ intake
