High blood pressure or hypertension makes your heart
work harder. As a result, blood vessels get damaged throughout the body.
Damage of the blood vessels of kidney leads to stoppage of removal of
wastes and extra fluid from the body. It makes high blood pressure one
of the leading causes of kidney failure. People with kidney failure must
either receive a kidney transplant or go on dialysis. Every year, high
blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in
the United States. For further information, read.
Kidney damage can not be noticed. It has no symptoms. It can be
detected only through medical tests. Blood tests will show whether your
kidneys are removing wastes efficiently or not.
Having too much
creatinine in your blood, is a sign of kidney damage. Photos of kidneys
taken by ultrasound also show if there is any kidney failure. Another
sign is proteinuria, or protein in your urine. Proteinuria has also been
shown to be associated with heart disease and damage of blood vessels.
If you have kidney damage, you should keep your blood pressure below
130/80. For that, you have to keep a track on blood pressure
measurements. Blood pressure monitor and digital blood pressure cuffs
help you to keep a track on blood pressure measurement. Blood pressure
information, in the form of blood pressure charts and blood pressure
readings, help administer the perfect blood pressure medication.
