Big KNY3 , you still don't get it do you? I'll spell it out for you: the kidneys are the most perfused organd in the body relative to their size.
look at your table again, closely: Kidneys get 23.9% ( we usualy round it off to 25) of cardiac out put .Relative to their wight, lessw than 5% of total body weight , they are way over perfused than brain, which is bigger but only gets 13.9 of the liver, which is a massive organ, 10X the weight of kidneys but still only gets 27% of cardiac output.
I hope uour two sister physicians are not advising you here gg or will all be in big doodoo; this thread needs the best medical info it can get,gg.
