What about hypertensive nephropathy?

summary

Kidney disease can be divided into a variety of common causes of kidney damage caused by chronic nephritis, uremia, but also because of external diseases caused by kidney disease, such as hypertensive nephropathy. Hypertension is not only an independent disease, but also one of the common symptoms of nephropathy. Generally, it is a common symptom of middle-aged and elderly people, but it does not mean that young people will not have hypertensive nephropathy. If young people suddenly have a continuous increase in blood pressure, they should be careful whether it is a kidney problem. Should go to the regular hospital for examination in time. In order to diagnose and treat. So, now let's take a look at what will happen to hypertensive nephropathy? Let's introduce the related knowledge of the field.

What about hypertensive nephropathy?

First: the course of hypertensive nephropathy progress slowly, there are primary and secondary points, primary hypertension is a kind of high blood pressure as the main clinical manifestation and the cause is not clear independent disease, secondary hypertension is also known as symptomatic hypertension, in this kind of disease etiology is clear.

Second: kidney damage in patients with kidney disease, secretion of substances leading to elevated blood pressure, hypertension symptoms. Hypertensive nephropathy increases muscle strength and myocardial oxygen consumption. In addition, the kidney itself is used to filter toxins in the body, and prevent proteins, blood cells and other substances from leaking out of the blood vessels. High blood pressure increases the blood pressure in the blood vessels, which can make proteins leak out. Once proteins leak out, it will damage the filter system of the kidney and form a vicious circle. The longer the duration of hypertension, the more difficult it is to reverse the damage, and the kidney will compensate until premature failure.

Thirdly, due to the limited medical skills and insufficient knowledge of hypertensive nephropathy, the incidence of hypertensive renal damage is positively correlated with the severity and duration of hypertension. Other possible influencing factors include gender, race, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia. Most patients with hypertensive nephropathy have mild renal damage and abnormal urine routine. These factors interact with each other and further aggravate the renal damage.

matters needing attention

Hypertension is only one of the clinical manifestations of this disease, blood pressure can be temporarily or persistently increased. Hypertension with nephrotic symptoms mainly refers to secondary hypertension.
