HYPERTENSION AND KIDNEY HEALTH

Hypertension and Kidney Health

 

 

🩺 Introduction

High blood pressure and the kidneys are closely linked.
Excessive pressure gradually damages the renal blood vessels, reducing the kidneys’ ability to filter the blood.
Conversely, kidney disease can also lead to increased blood pressure, creating a dangerous vicious circle for overall health.
