High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease

High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms for many years. You may not even know you have it. In fact, it is often discovered in consultation with a doctor for some other reason. High blood pressure cannot be diagnosed with just one blood pressure measurement. Normal pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg. If your blood pressure remains higher than 130/85 mmHg in two days or more, you should see a doctor.

Many of the new cases of kidney failure each year are caused by higher than normal blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause kidney disease and also make it progress more quickly. Kidney disease can also cause high blood pressure.
