HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & KIDNEY DISEASE

🔴 High blood pressure is the #2 cause of kidney failure. High blood pressure can be both a cause of kidney disease and a symptom of kidney disease.

🔴 How is kidney function related to blood pressure?
● Your kidneys play a key role in keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range. Diseased kidneys are less able to help regulate blood pressure. As a result, blood pressure increases.

🔴 Can kidney problems cause high blood pressure?
● Renal hypertension, also called renovascular hypertension, is elevated blood pressure caused by kidney disease. It can usually be controlled by blood pressure drugs.


🔴 Blood pressure readings are given as two numbers.
● The top number is called systolic blood pressure. The bottom number is called diastolic blood pressure. For example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mm Hg).

🔴 Causes
Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:
● The amount of water and salt you have in your body
● The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
● Your hormone levels

● When you eat too much salt, which contains sodium, your body holds extra water to "wash" the salt from your body. In some people, this may cause blood pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on your heart and blood vessels.
