As a doctor, I have witnessed too many tragedies that should not have happened. Some time ago, when another seemingly strong man was diagnosed with uremia and had to rely on dialysis to sustain his life in this life, the majority of hypertensive patients were reminded: stop indulging your blood pressure and let it hurt your kidneys badly again! Behind the cruelty This man is the backbone of his family. More than a decade ago, he was diagnosed with hypertension. Hypertension is too common a disease, and like many hypertensive patients, he did not take it seriously and only took antihypertensive medication when he became visibly dizzy. Because of his small income, he usually rarely went to the hospital to have his blood pressure checked, let alone to have his kidney function checked. Some time ago he felt unwell, his appetite dropped significantly, and he was a bit nauseous at the same time. The pillar of the family just collapsed, everything came too suddenly and too cruel. The man’s lack of awareness of the dangers of hypertension is behind this cruelty. ”About 5 percent of hypertensive patients eventually die from uremia. “”If he could get his blood pressure under control earlier, he wouldn’t have developed uremia so quickly. “It is understood that the City Hospital North Hemodialysis Center now has 210 hemodialysis patients here every week rely on hemodialysis to maintain life, tracing the cause of the disease, nearly 30% of patients with hypertension is associated. Millions of citizens are hurting themselves Based on the results of the baseline survey, experts at the city’s Center for Disease Control estimated the city’s hypertensive population at 1.8 million. It was also found in the baseline survey that 24% of the million hypertensive army were able to take antihypertensive drugs regularly, and only 13% had better blood pressure control (the national figure is even lower). In other words, in Suzhou, one million hypertensive patients are indulging their blood pressure to do evil. The human kidneys have more than one million glomeruli, which are like a filter, after the blood flows through, the excess water and toxins in the blood are filtered out, and the clean blood is returned to the blood vessels. In a normal person, the kidneys can filter and clean about 200 liters of blood per day. Long-term hypertension can cause hyperperfusion within the glomerulus, leading to glomerular fibrosis and eventually loss of glomerular function. When one glomerulus is broken, the remaining normal glomeruli need to do more work, but when the number of glomerular damage gradually increases beyond the compensatory capacity, the body will show symptoms, and at that time, it often means that the best chance of treatment has been missed. It can be said that hypertension itself can damage kidney function, and for patients with pre-existing kidney disease, hypertension can make kidney function deteriorate rapidly. Many kidney diseases themselves can be complicated by renal hypertension. Hypertension and kidney disease interact with each other, forming a vicious circle that leads to progressive deterioration of kidney function, until the development of uremia. Although systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg are defined as hypertension at home and abroad, the results of large-scale clinical trials in the medical community in recent years have shown that what was previously considered normal blood pressure may in fact already be detrimental to the function of the heart, brain and kidneys. Therefore, it is now considered that the ideal blood pressure for a normal adult should be no more than 120/80 mmHg. For the average hypertensive patient, on the other hand, his or her blood pressure should be controlled to 140/90 mmHg or less. In the case of patients who are diabetic or already have kidney disease, blood pressure should be controlled
