Hypertension control in elderly kidney disease patients

Controlling hypertension in elderly patients with kidney disease is important to reduce the risk of further kidney damage and cardiovascular problems. It involves regular monitoring of blood pressure and using medications as prescribed to keep it within a safe range. Lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet low in salt, regular exercise, and limiting alcohol intake, can also help. Careful management is essential, as older adults may have other health issues; treatments are tailored to balance blood pressure control with overall health to avoid side effects. Collaboration with healthcare providers ensures safe and effective management.
