Does high blood pressure affect your kidney?
Hypertension can be divided into two types. Essential hypertension is the one that happens in people older than 60 years of age. It is caused by arterial stiffness. If the same type of hypertension happens in the people in the age group 30-50 then it is called young hypertension. It is important to investigate the cause of young hypertension before starting treatment.
About 30% of the young hypertension is caused by the kidney problems. Creatinine tests can help identify problems in kidney function. If you take hypertension medication without identifying the root cause, your kidney health may worsen. The patient may reach the stage where he might need dialysis.
Other causes of young hypertension include a sedentary lifestyle and obesity. If you are diagnosed with young hypertension make sure that you identify the cause of the problem and if it is because of kidney problems, consult with a nephrology doctor.
