Patient's question:
I'm getting older and older, and I always feel my body is getting worse day by day. Recently, I've been feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded, and when I went to the hospital, they said it was something called renal hypertension. I don't really understand what that means, so the doctor just gave me some medication. But after taking a few doses, it didn't seem to work at all, and I even felt a bit nauseous. I want to ask the doctor, what should I do about this renal hypertension?Doctor's answer:
If there is high blood pressure caused by kidney disease, in most cases, a thorough examination is necessary to confirm whether it is glomerulonephritis or adrenal gland disease. The treatment method should be determined based on the severity of the condition. Generally, for this type of secondary hypertension, the primary disease needs to be treated. In most cases, effective stabilization of blood pressure can be achieved through kidney treatment, while also preventing the recurrence of kidney function issues. Diuretics can be used.
