High blood pressure can cause kidney failure

The

kidney is one of the most important organs of the human body. Its main function is to filter waste and excess water in the blood, maintain water and salt balance in the body, and secrete some hormones and enzymes to participate in regulating the metabolic process of the whole body. If patients with hypertension are actively treated, their blood pressure can be maintained at a stable level. Generally, they will not cause renal vascular damage, so they will not cause renal failure. However, if the patient fails to actively treat, the blood pressure will be damaged by the blood vessels of the kidney for a long time, which will lead to renal function decline. In the long run, renal failure can be caused.

Patients with hypertension should maintain a daily diet of low salt, low fat, light and balanced nutrition. Pay attention to regular monitoring of blood pressure. once there is an abnormal situation, seek medical attention in time.
