Kidney damage caused by hypertension is known as hypertensive renal damage, and the treatment includes general treatment, drug treatment and dialysis treatment.
Hypertensive kidney damage refers to damage to the small arteries of the kidneys or the renal parenchyma caused by primary hypertension. Patients who fail to control their blood pressure effectively may develop proteinuria over time and require early treatment. In the middle and late stages, it may progress to renal impairment or even to uremia.
1. General treatment: including salt restriction, weight reduction exercise, control of alcohol intake, etc.
2. Drug treatment: mainly angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) such as captopril, enalapril, etc., angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARB) such as valsartan, chlorosartan, etc., calcium antagonists such as felodipine, etc., diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, etc., β-blockers such as metoprolol, etc..
3. Dialysis treatment: patients with end-stage renal disease should receive timely renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation.
Patients with hypertensive renal damage should go to the hospital in time, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of professional physicians, and do not use medication on their own.
