High blood pressure makes your heart work harder and damages your blood vessels. As the blood vessels in your kidney become damaged, they lose their effectiveness in screening the wastes from your body. This increases the fluids in your body and increases your blood pressure even more.
The damage of the blood vessels in your kidneys due to high blood pressure is called as Hypertensive Nephropathy.
Causes
Chronic high blood pressure causes damages to kidney tissue; this includes the small blood vessels, glomeruli, kidney tubules and interstitial tissues. The tissue hardens and thickens which is known as nephrosclerosis. The narrowing of the blood vessels means less blood is going to the tissue and so less oxygen is reaching the tissue resulting in tissue death (ischemia). Risk factors for HN include poorly controlled moderate to high blood pressure, older age, other kidney disorders. and Afro-Caribbean background – unclear whether this is due to them being more genetically susceptible to kidney damage by hypertension or whether it is because of poor management of high blood pressure amongst them.
Sympotoms
If high blood pressure runs in your family, the presence of the disease seems to increase chances of developing kidney disease. Symptoms of kidney disease due to high blood pressure include:
A need to urinate more often, especially at night
Decrease in amount of urine or difficulty urinating
Edema (fluid retention), especially in the lower legs
Diagnosis
Certain laboratory tests include serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN); too much of either can indicate kidney damage. Proteinuria, an excess of protein in the urine, is also a sign of kidney disease.
Treatment
Hypertensive kidney disease is due to long-term uncontrolled high blood pressure which damages the small blood vessels, glomeruli, kidney tubules and interstitial tissues. If left untreated or treated ineffectively, it may lead to kidney failure. The treatments for hypertensive kidney disease should focus on both controlling high blood pressure and reversing kidney damage at the same time.
