High blood pressure is a common symptom in Chronic Nephritis patients. Well, what are the causes and treatments?
To be honest, high blood pressure caused by chronic nephritis belongs to renal hypertension. And renal hypertension accounts for 5%-10% of high blood pressure in adults. According to the pathogenesis, it can be divided into two categories:
1. Blood volume type When kidneys are damaged, excess water and salt will accumulate in the body, and this kind of retention can increase the blood volume. In this way, elevated blood pressure occurs accordingly.
2. Renin hypertension In addition to excreting waste products, kidneys can also help adjust blood pressure through the RASS( renin angiotensin aldosterone system). However, in chronic nephritis, the RASS will not be able to work as normal. And that’s how elevated blood pressure occur.
Additionally, decreased secretion of prostaglandin and kinin can also contribute to this.
After the above introduction, we believe you have learned about the causes. When you get there, you may have such a doubt: What can chronic nephritis patients do to lower high blood pressure?
1. Pay attention to the intake of water and sodium To prevent this from happening, it is essential to pay attention to the intake of salt and sodium. In daily life, the should eat less or not eat salted fish, bacon, pickled vegetables, spinach and so on. If you have no idea about this, consult with our doctors online to determine personal water and sodium intake.
2. Restore kidney function The onset of hypertension has close connection with a drop in kidney function, so timely treatments should be adopted to restore renal function and reduce high blood pressure.
