High blood pressure is dangerous, partly because there are no symptoms, so organ damage can occur slowly without being recognized. Renal hypertension can cause chronic kidney disease. This is a slow decline in kidney function. Until the condition is well advanced, chronic kidney disease also causes no symptoms. Because there are usually no symptoms, a doctor may suspect renal hypertension when someone has uncontrolled high blood pressure despite multiple medications or has unexplained chronic kidney disease.
Your kidneys aren't the only organs hurt by hypertension -- the heart and blood vessels can be targets as well. When high blood pressure damages the heart, it leads to enlargement and congestive heart failure. The brain is damaged by strokes in patients with hypertension.igh blood pressure, medically known as hypertension, affects 73 million Americans. A common misconception is that those with hypertension are excessively nervous or stressed out. In my practice, this is actually one of the most common questions that I am asked by a new patient. So I'll say it publicly.
