Can kidney problem leads to High blood pressure?

Answer 1

Severe infection/s or chronic infections of kidneys causing severe damage to the Glomerulus of the Nephrons result in Hypertension due to the following reasons:

One of the functions of the kidney is to monitor blood pressure and take corrective action if it should drop. The kidney does this by secreting the proteolytic enzyme renin.

* Renin acts on angiotensinogen, a plasma peptide, splitting off a fragment containing 10 amino acids called
* angiotensin I.
* angiotensin I is cleaved by a peptidase secreted by blood vessels called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) — producing
* angiotensin II, which contains 8 amino acids.
* angiotensin II
o constricts the walls of arterioles closing down capillary beds;
o stimulates the proximal tubules in the kidney to reabsorb sodium ions;
o stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. Aldosterone causes the kidneys to reclaim still more sodium and thus water.
o increases the strength of the heartbeat;
o stimulates the pituitary to release the antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as arginine vasopressin).
All of these actions lead to an increase in blood pressure.

A lot of things can do that, including kidney problems. There are many types of kidney problems. You didn't include your age, your gender, or anything about your medical history. With so little information all I can tell you is to see your doctor. There may indeed be a reason your blood pressure is so high and you are having pain the area of your kidneys - you could have something called nephritis (inflammation in the kidney), you could have polycystic kidneys, you could have lots of things. Your blood pressure is too high -- high enough to damage the heart and the blood vessels. Please see a doctor. You need blood tests and urine tests, and perhaps an ultrasound or CT scan of the kidneys. If you are having real pain I would encourage you to go to an urgent care or emergency department.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 5

Vascular problems near the kidney can and do cause high blood pressure. A growth on the backside of the kidney does cause high blood pressure. And hypertension will cause kidney problems in otherwise healthy kidneys. Usually hypertension is not caused by the kidneys, but it can be.

Answer 6

My Doctor Told Me the depressing news - "Your Kidneys Are FAILING!"

My worsening kidney disease symptoms included:
- Nausea and vomiting and constant stomach upset
- Passing only small amounts of urine and stopping and starting while urinating
- Swelling in my ankles and lower legs
- Puffiness around my eyes with brain fog and moodiness
- Chronic fatigue and shortness of breath when exerting myself
- Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat at all
- Increasingly higher blood pressure
- Bouts of anxiety and depression
- Muscle cramps which were worse in my legs

That a friend of mine sent me a link to a website (http://NatureHomeCure.com) that helped his Mother. She was just like me, and was suffering with failing kidneys and experienced the same worries and fears I was going through. All I could do was try it and see if it worked.

Here's where the story gets a little strange. Two months later, Instead of my kidneys sliding down the slippery slope of kidney failure and getting progressively worse, they started to get better.

My Doctor could not believe how much improved my kidney function output had increased and my GFR was UP and creatinine levels lower. My kidneys were starting to work again, and removing all the toxins in my body. I got my life back!

Now, I am using this 100% all natural protocol which restored my kidney function and did it naturally, without the use of unnatural man-made pharmaceutical drugs or dialysis. In less than two months my kidneys were on the mend. Now six months later, My kidney's are back to normal again.

Answer 7

Renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. It is a form of secondary hypertension.
When the kidney arteries become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low and give off hormones that tell the body to retain salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
Please see the web pages for more details on Renovascular hypertension.
