Hypertension and Renal Vascular Disorders

Hypertension and Renal Vascular Disorders are closely linked to kidney health. Hypertension is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can exacerbate kidney damage by affecting blood vessels in the kidneys. Renal vascular disorders, such as renal artery stenosis or renovascular hypertension, occur when the blood vessels supplying the kidneys are narrowed or blocked, leading to impaired kidney function and high blood pressure. Early detection and management of hypertension, along with appropriate treatment for vascular issues, are critical in preventing further kidney damage and maintaining renal health.
