Causes of hypertensive nephropathy

First, the kidney itself is an organ surrounded by capillaries. It is used to filter toxins in the body and prevent proteins, blood cells and other substances from leaking out of blood vessels.

Second: high blood pressure increases the blood pressure in the blood vessel, which can make the protein leak out. Once the protein leak out, it will damage the filter system of the kidney, causing a vicious circle. The damage caused by a long time is difficult to reverse, and the kidney will compensate and increase until premature failure. That's why it's not terrible to have hematuria, it's terrible to have proteinuria.

Third: the common causes are: the incidence of hypertensive renal damage is positively correlated with the severity and duration of hypertension. Other possible factors include gender, race, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia. These factors interact with each other and further aggravate renal damage. Men are more likely to have kidney damage than women.
