Chronic nephritis is closely related to hypertension. The incidence of hypertension is very common, and many people suffer from it. Unlike other diseases, hypertension generally does not pose a life-threatening risk, so many people overlook it. In fact, hypertension may cause symptoms such as chronic nephritis, which can also cause hypertension. Therefore, this should be taken seriously.
Many patients have coexisting hypertension and chronic nephritis, and special attention should be paid to stabilizing blood pressure in this situation. Firstly, it is necessary to choose drugs that can effectively reduce blood pressure and protect the kidneys; Secondly, in some special situations such as renal artery stenosis or decreased renal function, some antihypertensive drugs cannot be used or their dosage needs to be reduced; Once again, the requirement for blood pressure reduction is higher, and blood pressure must be controlled below 130/80mmHg. For patients with high levels of proteinuria, lower blood pressure is required.
Patients should pay attention to hypertension. If hypertension is found by actual results, they should check whether there is kidney disease, especially under 40 years old, or with diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia and gout, edema, more foam in urine, more nocturnal urine and waist acid, and have a family history of kidney disease. When hypertension becomes difficult to control, consideration should be given to whether it is accompanied by kidney disease; Regular urine tests are crucial for predicting heart disease and stroke; When there is both hypertension and kidney disease, the selection and use of antihypertensive drugs must be cautious.
From this, it can be seen that chronic nephritis and hypertension have many connections, and they can cause each other. For patients with chronic nephritis, attention should be paid to controlling blood pressure and using medication and other treatment methods to steadily lower their blood pressure, rather than letting it go, as this may cause great harm to their body.
