🩺 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & YOUR KIDNEYS — THE TWO-WAY CONNECTION
Did you know that high blood pressure can damage your kidneys—and kidney disease can make your blood pressure rise?
🔴 High BP can damage the kidneys
Persistently high pressure puts stress on the tiny blood vessels and filtering units of the kidneys. Over time, this can contribute to albumin-protein in the urine and declining kidney function.
🫘 Kidney disease can raise BP
When kidneys are damaged, they may have difficulty regulating salt, water and blood-pressure hormones, which can contribute to higher BP.
This can create a vicious cycle:
High BP → Kidney damage → Higher BP → Further kidney damage
What can you do?
🧂 Reduce excess salt
🏃 Stay physically active
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight
🚭 Avoid smoking
💊 Take prescribed medicines regularly
🏠 Monitor BP appropriately at home
🔎 Check kidney health when advised
Remember: High BP and kidney disease can both remain silent for years.
👉 Know your numbers. Control your BP. Protect your kidneys.
