World Kidney Day 2025: High blood pressure is not a common problem. It can cause many other types of damage to the body. These include heart diseases, but can high BP also be a reason for kidney failure? Let's find out.

World Kidney Day 2025: Even before the kidney fails, the body starts giving some signals. This includes symptoms like abdominal pain, swelling in hands and feet, frequent urination and weight loss. All these signs are easy to understand, but sometimes the situation becomes such that the kidney keeps getting damaged inside, which we do not know at all. Many health experts and doctors say that high blood pressure can also cause kidney damage. World Kidney Day is celebrated every year on 13 March. This day is also celebrated to create awareness about kidney diseases, the causes of diseases, causes and preventive measures. On this occasion, let us know about the relationship between these two problems from a kidney expert.

What do experts say?

Kidney expert Dr. Shyam Bansal says that there can be many reasons behind kidney failure, but BP is a rare condition, which does not happen to everyone. A 25-year-old man came to him whose kidneys had failed. Actually, there is a connection between these two, which is important to understand and both these problems are very common. But their causes can be quite different from each other.

What is the reason?

Doctors say that the problem of BP affects people between the ages of 40 and 50. People of this age can develop kidney disease due to BP, but this does not happen to everyone. According to statistics, this condition occurs in 2 out of 10 people. But those who are young, do not have kidney disease due to BP, but have high BP due to kidney disease. This is why high BP is also a sign of kidney disease, especially in young people.

How will you know?

Doctors say that often the BP problem caused by kidney disease is very high. Sometimes even a single medication does not work to manage this condition. When further treatment is done, it is found that the kidney's functioning is impaired and this is the reason for high BP. Protein leakage from urine also shows the relationship between kidney disease and BP. If this sign is not understood quickly, then the kidney gradually gets completely damaged and then treatment and diagnosis becomes difficult.

What to do?

Kidney disease can occur when BP is high. In this, you should immediately contact a doctor and also get a KFT test done.

How to manage high BP?

If you have BP problem and take medicine, then do not avoid the medicine. Do not take these medicines without medical advice. BP should remain between 130/80. Change the lifestyle, keep a right diet. Make sure to include physical activity in your routine.
