Does High and Low Blood Pressure Relate to Kidney Health?

1. Low pressure generally refers to diastolic pressure. High diastolic pressure is usually related to the kidneys, but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by other factors.

2. Diastolic pressure is a reference value for blood pressure. High diastolic pressure usually indicates that the patient's diastolic pressure value exceeds 90 mmHg. If it continues to rise, it is generally considered hypertension. If patients have kidney diseases, such as nephritis and glomerulonephritis, it can affect kidney function, leading to abnormal metabolism of sodium, potassium, and water in the body, resulting in water and sodium retention. At this point, the patient's blood volume will increase, leading to an increase in blood pressure, and the diastolic pressure will also increase accordingly. However, there are many causes of high diastolic pressure, not just kidney problems. Genetic factors, vigorous exercise, cardiovascular diseases, etc., may also lead to high diastolic pressure.

3. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly, diagnose the cause under the help of doctors, and receive timely treatment after diagnosis. If necessary, medications such as Nifedipine GITS, Metoprolol Succinate ER, and Amlodipine Besylate can be taken to improve symptoms. During the treatment process, pay attention to a light diet, drink more water, reduce the intake of oil and salt, and promote disease recovery.
