Hypertension & Kidney Disease
Manage Blood Pressure to Protect Your Kidneys
Hypertension & Kidney Disease
Specialized Care for Kidney Filtering Disorders. Glomerular diseases affect the glomeruli.
Overview
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can damage the small blood vessels inside the kidneys over time. This damage may reduce their ability to filter waste effectively. Kidney disease can also contribute to high blood pressure, creating a cycle that may worsen both conditions.
Regular blood pressure monitoring, kidney screening, and appropriate medical management can help protect kidney function and reduce the risk of complications.
Common Signs & Symptoms
High blood pressure often causes no noticeable symptoms. When kidney disease develops, possible signs include:
Swelling in the feet or ankles.
Foamy or bloody urine.
Changes in urination.
Unusual tiredness.
Abnormal kidney function test results.

Causes & Risk Factors
Diagnosis & Management
Evaluation may include:
Regular blood pressure monitoring.
Blood tests such as serum creatinine and eGFR.
