Description

High blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) is when your blood pressure, the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high. It is defined as high pressure (tension) in the arteries, which are the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Renal Hypertension is a disorder, which is characterized by a rise in the blood pressure that results from kidney disease. The blood flow to the kidney can also be impaired due to the narrowing of the arteries and this leads to renovascular hypertension. Hypertension puts additional strain on your heart and veins. If untreated it can increase complications of cardiovascular disease, vision, kidney, bones, and brain.
