Taking medication in patients with chronic kidney disease may lead to lower blood pressure.
Patients with chronic kidney disease often have the accompanying symptoms of elevated blood pressure, the cause of which may be the decline in renal function, its ability to process water and sodium is weakened, water and sodium retention occurs, thus causing increased blood pressure; or due to narrowing of the renal blood vessels, blood flow is reduced to activate the RAS system so that the water and sodium retention leads to increased blood pressure.
In this case, it can be treated with diuretics such as furosemide or antihypertensive drugs such as captopril and valsartan, both of which can lead to lower blood pressure.
Chronic kidney disease needs to take medication under the guidance of a doctor, do not take medication blindly. Normally, you should observe the changes of blood pressure, record the changes of blood pressure in detail, keep a healthy and good attitude, exercise properly and make a good life plan.
