Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with uremia. He previously had high blood pressure. I want to consult if high blood pressure can lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
This type of hypertension may sometimes be caused by kidney disease. If the hypertension is due to kidney disease and does not improve over time, it may lead to uremia again. Sometimes, long-term hypertension can also result in recurrent hypertensive nephropathy, which may also lead to the possibility of uremia. In such cases, it is essential to actively treat the condition and strive to keep blood pressure within the normal range.
