Why hypertension ‘close’ with kidney disease? Could be, not many people understand the hypertension can be a major trigger the occurrence of kidney disease and kidney failure. Vice versa. While kidney function disrupted, blood pressure tends to increase and hypertension. During this time, hypertension is known as the most influential risk factor for heart attacks and other vascular diseases. Not everyone knows that.
The main function of kidneys is to remove the rest of metabolism and maintain fluid balance and electrolyte (salt) through urine. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs such as the hormone that stimulates red blood cell production and helps balance blood pressure. Also, controlling calcium metabolism.
“Kidney damage in certain parts will stimulate the production of renin hormone, and will stimulate the increase of blood pressure and become hypertension that can be settled,” said Dharmeizar, Kidney-Hypertension Division, RCSM Department of Medicine. When renal damage and salt-water disrupted, blood vessels cavity will increase and leading to hypertension.
“The rise of blood pressure above normal could be one of the symptoms of kidney disease, reduction amount of urine or difficult to pee, fluid retention, and increased frequency of urination especially at night, ” said Dharmeizar.
Impaired renal function due to hypertension may be the acute kidney disease, chronic kidney disease until the kidneys are no longer able to run some or all of its functions. In fact, hypertension is the number 2 cause on most end-stage renal damage after diabetes mellitus.
Note the signs and symptoms. When you wake up and you find swelling in the legs and eyelids, there should be suspected as renal dysfunction. Dr Dharmeizar explains, chronic kidney disease can be detected with a simple urine test to measure levels of protein in the urine. When the protein in the urine (proteinuria) is positive and lasts longer than 3 months, then that person may have chronic kidney disease. “If the test urine creatinine levels are found positive, then the person is already suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease,” said Dr. Dharmeizar.
