Renal hypertension is a type of high blood pressure caused by problems in the kidneys. When the kidneys are damaged or diseased, they may not filter blood effectively, leading to an increase in blood pressure. This condition can result from various factors, including chronic kidney disease or renal artery stenosis, which is a narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys. Managing renal hypertension often involves treating the underlying kidney issue and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to improve kidney function. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney health is essential to prevent complications such as heart disease or stroke.
