It can greatly slow down the rate of kidney damage.

Most kidney disease patients still attach great importance to the issue of renal hypertension. The misconceptions of medication are difficult to avoid. Here, we have compiled a list for kidney disease patients, hoping that everyone will avoid detours and better control their condition.

Misunderstanding ①

Long term use of short-term antihypertensive drugs

There are two types of antihypertensive drugs: long-term and short-term. Short-acting antihypertensive drugs such as captopril and nifedipine have the characteristics of fast absorption and obvious onset of effect.

However, the short maintenance time of short-term formulations can cause significant blood pressure fluctuations; Frequent use of medication can lead to missed medication for patients. Therefore, in order to maintain the regularity and long-term nature of treatment, it is recommended to use long-term antihypertensive drugs.

Misunderstanding ②

Extreme use of Puli/Sartan

Puli and sartan drugs are widely used in nephrology and have the effect of reducing urinary protein. But patients sometimes face two extremes when facing this group of drugs:

One is afraid of dependence and dares not eat; I heard it's beneficial, eat it hard, and the more you eat it, the higher your blood potassium, and still eat it.

Patients should consider their own situation when using antihypertensive drugs. It is best to explain the current symptoms to the doctor in advance, or adjust the prescription based on the actual situation after a physical examination.

Misunderstanding ③

Extensive use of diuretics

Renal hypertension is prone to edema, and a certain dose of thiazide diuretics can alleviate this symptom. However, long-term and extensive use can lead to a decrease in patient blood volume and an increase in creatinine and urea nitrogen.

Misunderstanding ④

Irregular medication

The most taboo for taking antihypertensive drugs is to stop taking them. Irregular medication can easily cause blood pressure fluctuations and lower efficacy, making it difficult to control hypertension.

Renal hypertension is not just an indicator. Kidney disease patients who can control it can gain endless benefits in reducing kidney damage.
