Hypertension management in kidney disease

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is common in kidney disease and can worsen kidney function. Managing it involves lifestyle changes like a balanced diet low in salt, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol. Medications, such as ACE inhibitors or diuretics, may also be prescribed to help control blood pressure. Regular monitoring is essential to adjust treatment as needed. Properly managing blood pressure can protect kidney health and reduce the risk of complications related to both high blood pressure and kidney disease. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
