High blood pressure (hypertension) means the force of blood against your artery walls is too strong. Over time, this can damage your kidneys. At the same time, when kidneys are not working well, they can raise blood pressure — creating a dangerous cycle.
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of CKD.
Poorly controlled blood pressure can make kidney disease worse, faster.
It also raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Often, high blood pressure has no symptoms.
Some people may get headaches, dizziness, or vision problems.
Check your blood pressure regularly — at home or at the clinic.
Take your medications as prescribed by your doctor.
Eat less salt, stay active, and maintain a healthy weight.
Limit alcohol and quit smoking to protect your heart and kidneys.
