Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Hypertension always interact with each
other. Therefore, CKD is a factor which can lead to Hypertension, but what is
the process? Let’s learn it step by step.
Firstly, what are the two kinds of diseases?
CKD refers to the renal structural changes and dysfunctions which are caused
by various reasons including the pathological damages when the GFR is normal or
abnormal, the appearance of abnormalities of blood and urine elements and the
image study, and the decreasing of GFR without clear reason. If the symptoms
last for more than three months, patients can be diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
In another aspect, Hypertension means that the blood pressure is higher than
the normal range (<160/95 mmHg).
Hypertension can be divided into two kinds, namely, Primary Hypertension and
Secondary Hypertension. The former one refers to the Hypertension in clinic
whose pathogenesis is always connected with genetic factors. However, the latter
one is the complication of the disease. For example, Renal Hypertension is
caused by kidney disease.
Hypertension caused by kidney disease is called Renal Hypertension, which
belongs to the second one with a rate of 5% -10% in adult patients. Among these,
the one caused by renal arteriarctia is called Renovascular Hypertension while
what is caused by other reasons related to kidney disease is called Renal
Parenchymal Hypertension.
Secondly, how does the renal disease lead to Hypertension(High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease)?
The two ways through which the glomerular diseases lead to Hypertension:
1). The GFR decreases when the patient get Nephritis. The quantity of sodium
reabsorbed by tubules increases will lead to the retention of water and sodium
in the body and the expansion of the blood volume, thus causing Hypertension at
last. This is called “Volume-dependent Hypertension”.
2). Ischemia caused by Nephritis can lead to the increasing of renin
secreting and synthesis of angiotensin II. On the one hand, the angiotensin II
can make the vessel shrink; on the other hand, it may stimulate the aldosterone
to secrete, increasing the retention of water and sodium. Both the two aspects
can lead to Hypertension. Among most of the cases of Hypertension, the former
occupies 80% and the latter 10%.
Thirdly, what should be noticed after getting the disease?
There are so many cases in which the patients regard their disease as the
primary Hypertension without a Immunotherapyic examination that many people
and families lost their smiles on the face. Therefore, once you find the
symptoms, never be satisfied with the general treatment of antihypertensive
medicine, but try to find the fundamental cause of the disease. If the renal
damage is found, go to a hospital specialized in kidney disease so that timely
treatment can be taken.
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is the largest hospital in North China
at present which is specialized in treating renal disease. There are many
experts with rich experience who will try their best to treat your disease. And
our Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has a good effect on renal disease.
