Patient's question:
What size does polycystic kidney disease need to be to affect high blood pressure? Currently, it is known that polycystic kidney disease does not have a good cure, only strict treatment. So, what details should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Patients should pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar diet to prevent colds and always maintain a cheerful mood. Additionally, they should ensure adequate deep sleep, which is beneficial for normal blood pressure and cyst treatment. Generally, cyst expansion can lead to high blood pressure, with the specific age not known, which specifically determines the condition. The main cause of hypertension in polycystic kidney disease is the rupture of partial blood vessels in the kidneys and the enhancement of cyst control, leading to increased blood supply to the kidneys and enhanced renal receptor signal irradiation, resulting in increased renin production and angiotensin levels, which causes blood pressure to rise in patients with polycystic kidney disease.
