Renal Hypertension

Renal hypertension is high blood pressure caused by kidney problems. When kidneys are damaged or not working properly, they may produce hormones that narrow blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. Conditions like chronic kidney disease or narrowing of kidney arteries can trigger this. It’s important to treat renal hypertension because it can lead to heart disease and other health complications. Managing it often involves addressing the underlying kidney issue, along with lifestyle changes and medication to help control blood pressure. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for monitoring and management.
