Cardiovascular and metabolic disorders affect the bladder by causing which effect?

• A. Increase urine production
• B. Decrease blood flow through the glomeruli and impair filtration and urine production
• C. No effect
• D. Increase bladder contraction

Answer: (B)

Systemic cardiovascular and metabolic problems can reduce blood flow to the kidneys, lowering filtration. When blood flow through the glomeruli decreases, glomerular filtration rate falls, leading to impaired urine production (oliguria). The bladder itself isn’t directly stimulated to contract more by these conditions, and a lack of effect or increased bladder contraction isn’t the typical outcome. So the best answer reflects the drop in renal perfusion causing reduced filtration and urine output.
