Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my blood pressure isn't very stable, and dizziness issues tend to reappear from time to time. I take antihypertensive medication at home on a regular schedule, but the situation isn't very ideal. I'm wondering if high blood pressure is more likely to cause fainting in people with polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that is often accompanied by polycystic liver disease. Under normal circumstances, it never interferes with kidney function. If your kidney function is affected and you suffer from renal hypertension, and if you treat it with medication, the effect will never be very good. This is because cysts are a form of morphological change, and medication cannot control them. Pay attention to preventing strenuous exercise and eating more celery. Renal hypertension is caused by angiotensin.
