Guide To Kidney Disease Diagnosis And Treatment

Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure

An individual who is affected by kidney disease may be advised to maintain a healthy blood pressure for their treatment to be effective. Blood pressure is the amount of force of the blood pushing on the walls of blood vessels as it is traveling through them. The blood vessels throughout the body can stretch to accommodate a certain extent of increased blood volume, but they become damaged when the pressure exceeds that threshold. The blood vessel damage induces a repair process by the body to the vessel walls with scar tissue, or tissue that is denser and more fibrous than the original vessel tissues. This scar tissue on blood vessel walls can cause problems with how the blood vessels work around the body and in certain organs like the kidneys. Damaged blood vessels in the kidneys that have accumulated scar tissue are not able to filter extra fluids, toxins, and wastes from the blood like they should be able to. A kidney disease patient must maintain healthy blood pressure to stop their disease from progressing rapidly.
