Renal Hypertension
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Renal hypertension is an elevation of blood pressure related to problems in the kidneys or in the arteries that supply them. There is a close connection between kidney function and blood pressure control.
Frequent symptoms: It often causes no noticeable discomfort; in some cases there is headache, pressure that is difficult to control, or changes detected in routine studies.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist evaluates kidney health and its relationship with blood pressure, while the cardiologist and the internist collaborate in comprehensive management; in childhood, the pediatric nephrologist is involved.
When to see a doctor? If blood pressure remains high despite usual control, a professional evaluation helps investigate the possible kidney origin.
