The Connection Between Blood Pressure and Kidney Health

The kidneys regulate blood pressure by controlling fluid balance.
High pressure forces kidneys to filter harder, causing gradual damage.
Damaged kidneys, in turn, release hormones that raise pressure further.
This creates a dangerous feedback loop known as “renal hypertension.”
Sodium intake directly affects this pressure control system.
Proper hydration helps reduce strain on both kidneys and arteries.
Blood pressure medications often work by targeting kidney function.
Even small improvements in pressure can preserve kidney health.
Routine monitoring is vital since kidney disease can be silent.
Healthy kidneys and stable blood pressure always go hand in hand.
