High blood pressure (hypertension) significantly impacts kidney health and can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Effective management is crucial to prevent complications and maintain overall well-being.
What is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is too high, potentially leading to serious health issues, including kidney damage.
How High Blood Pressure Works
High blood pressure damages blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter waste effectively. This damage can lead to CKD, characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function. Managing blood pressure through medications, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments is essential to prevent further kidney damage.
