Patient's question:
Doctor, my good friend is just 30 years old this year. Recently, my friend has had the problem of low blood pressure again. Later, after a thorough check-up at the hospital, it was said to be secondary hypertension. I would like to ask a few questions, what is secondary hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Secondary hypertension is a type of hypertension, which primarily occurs as a result of certain diseases and is a clinical manifestation of these conditions. This type of hypertension accounts for a relatively small proportion of the overall hypertensive population, usually arising from conditions such as renal parenchymal inflammation, renal artery stenosis, and preeclampsia syndrome. While patients need to control their blood pressure, active treatment targeting the primary disease focus is also essential.
