Hypertensive Nephropathy

Hypertensive nephropathy is kidney damage caused by high blood pressure. Chronic high blood pressure puts extra stress on the small blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their ability to filter waste effectively. Over time, this damage can lead to reduced kidney function or kidney failure. Managing blood pressure through medication, diet, and lifestyle changes is essential to prevent or slow this process. Regular check-ups and kidney function tests help monitor the condition and prevent serious complications.
