Patient's question:
What is primary hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Primary hypertension refers to high blood pressure for which no cause can be identified, while secondary hypertension refers to high blood pressure that results from other diseases, such as kidney disease and other endocrine disorders. Since the cause of primary hypertension cannot be found, it is generally treated primarily by simply controlling blood pressure. Secondary hypertension, however, requires simultaneous treatment of the underlying disease.Advice: The goal of both types of hypertension is to control blood pressure, with maintaining stable blood pressure as the foundation. After the cause of secondary hypertension is removed, it may improve.
