Causes of polycystic kidney hypertension

summary

The size of left kidney is 220 * 111, the size of right kidney is 203 * 121, the volume of both kidneys is obviously increased, the structure is disordered, the parenchymal area of both kidneys is full of echo areas of different sizes, and they are not connected with each other. The larger left kidney area is about 77 * 73, and the larger right kidney area is about 61 * 61, with complete capsule. What's the cause of polycystic kidney hypertension? Let's analyze it below

Causes of polycystic kidney hypertension

First, when polycystic kidney disease patients are often accompanied by hypertension complications. Hypertension in patients with polycystic kidney disease, is a very common symptom, often ignored. In fact, hypertension caused by polycystic kidney disease, namely secondary hypertension, is more harmful to human body. This means that polycystic kidney disease is one of the aggravating clinical symptoms in the process of progression.

Second: polycystic kidney hypertension is due to external causes of polycystic kidney cyst enlargement, compression of the normal renal tissue, renal blood vessels, resulting in renal vascular insufficiency and increasing blood vessels, increased cyst compression of some blood vessels in the kidney, so that the local blood flow decreased, the renal receptor after sensing this signal reflexively increased renin production Therefore, there is a vicious circle between hypertension and renal function damage. Therefore, polycystic kidney disease patients correctly treat hypertension and control hypertension.

Third: and polycystic kidney disease in patients with hypertension is also a signal of aggravation! More than 50% of patients with polycystic kidney disease had hypertension before the serum creatinine increased. This is because after the rise of blood pressure, systemic small artery vasoconstriction, spasm, long-term spasm of vascular intima can occur vitreous wave, damage the wall, so that cholesterol easily deposited on the wall of blood vessels, wall thickening, hardening, lumen stenosis, renal arterioles, glomeruli can occur the above damage and fluctuation, resulting in renal ischemia, glomerular atrophy, small artery fibers Further development of nephron fibrosis, hyaline degeneration, renal cortex thinning. Renal function damage, and eventually develop into uremia.

matters needing attention

Once polycystic kidney patients have hypertension, it means that their renal function is about to be damaged or has been damaged. Therefore, hypertension has become a "landmark" symptom of polycystic kidney syndrome (stage 2) entering into renal insufficiency (stage 3), which is more obvious in men than in women. It is necessary to raise vigilance and carry out standardized treatment.
