The Hypertension 5 test can be done once every 3 to 4 months, or once every 6 months if it is well controlled.
The Hypertension 5 test includes renin levels, angiotensin levels, aldosterone levels, cortisol levels, and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels. The 5 hypertension tests can be used to determine whether the patient has primary or secondary hypertension, which will help the doctor determine the patient’s condition more accurately so that the right medication can be prescribed to help the patient regain his or her health.
If it is primary hypertension, the patient needs to take antihypertensive medication according to the doctor’s instruction for a long time, and during the period of taking the medication, the patient should pay close attention to the changes of his/her blood pressure every day and go to the clinic for review on a regular basis. If secondary hypertension is just a complication of a disease, patients need to actively treat the primary disease, so as to achieve the effect of lowering blood pressure.
If high blood pressure occurs, you need to follow up on time and according to the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
