Patient's question:
My uncle has high blood pressure. He is always worried about its impact on the kidneys. What is the effect of high blood pressure on the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Your uncle has high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause harm to important organs in the body, such as the brain, heart, and kidneys. Excessive pressure on the kidneys can impair their filtration function, potentially leading to recurrent kidney dysfunction. Therefore, it is essential to actively treat high blood pressure and keep blood pressure within the normal range. It is recommended to revisit the cardiology department of the hospital and use antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a physician. Avoid drinking beer and consuming excessively salty foods.
