Hypertension & Diabetes Increase Risk of Chronic Renal Failure

Hypertension&Diabetes are two leading causes of Chronic Renal Failure. If preventive precautions are performed, it will reduce the incidence of kidney disease significantly. Hypertension and Chronic Renal Failure
Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80mmHg. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause kidney damage over time.
The tiny blood vessels and nephrons are responsible for filtering blood and excreting the wastes out of body. However, the high blood pressure can damage them over time. As a result, the nephrons will be incapable of filtering out wastes, sodium and excess fluid from the blood, resulting in kidney damage. In return, with no place to go, the extra fluids and sodium will build up in blood stream, causing extra pressure on blood vessels wall and elevating the blood pressure. The blood pressure can do damage to kidney further. As renal tubule is firstly involved, increased urination is the firstly if kidney disease occurs.
Diabetes and Chronic Renal Failure
Not all Diabetics develop kidney disease. It is mainly determined by the blood glucose. High blood glucose can overwork the kidneys, causing them to stop working properly over time. If kidney disease can be detected and treated, the kidney damage can be reversed completely. The first sign of Chronic Renal Failure caused by Diabetes is small amount of protein in urine. If uncontrolled, it will develop into overt proteinuria which can worsen kidney disease progression rapidly.
In addition, Hypertension has a significant effect on the kidney disease progress rate. Therefore, it is very important for the patients to control by doing losing weight, eating less salt and getting regular exercise.
