Effects of hypertension on kidney

High blood pressure may cause glomerulosclerosis, renal arteriosclerosis, renal failure and other effects.

1, glomerulosclerosis

long-term hypertension easily leads to increased pressure in the glomerular capsule, causing glomerular fibrosis, causing kidney ischemia, thus inducing glomerulosclerosis.

2, renal arteriosclerosis

due to long-term high blood pressure, increased arterial pressure, easy to cause vascular intima damage, resulting in renal arteriosclerosis.

3, renal failure

due to high blood pressure affects renal artery blood circulation, leading to renal tissue edema, congestion, affecting normal renal function, so severe can cause renal failure.
