What is the connection between kidney disease and hypertension?
Hypertension leads to the thickening and narrowing of small blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing blood flow and function. This causes salt and water accumulation, further increasing blood pressure and potentially leading to severe complications such as stroke or kidney damage.
