Overview of Intrarenal Pressure (IRP)

Michelle Semins, MD, details the variability in intrarenal pressures, explaining that while a clear safe threshold is unknown, pressures over 30-40 might be dangerous; she lists factors influencing these pressures, like inflow/outflow and scope size, and mentions potential complications from prolonged high pressures, such as urosepsis.
