The Connection Between Your Blood Pressure and Kidney Health.
Your kidneys and blood pressure work together in ways that might surprise you. Your kidneys help keep your blood pressure in a healthy range, but when blood pressure gets too high, it can damage your kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease. Understanding this relationship helps you protect both your heart and kidney health.
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, often develops without obvious symptoms, which is why it's sometimes called the "silent killer." When it comes to kidney health, this silence can be particularly concerning because kidney damage from high blood pressure also happens gradually and without warning signs.
The good news is that managing your blood pressure effectively protects your kidneys from further damage and can even slow the progression of existing kidney disease. Our care team works with you to improve your quality of life through support of your overall health.
