How to Reduce High Blood Pressure for FSGS Patients

As more and more scarring develops in kidneys, extra fluid and sodium retains in the body that is one common cause of high blood pressure for FSGS patients. Additionally, the use of steroids or immunosuppressants like prednisone and Cellcept and low kidney function are also causes of high BP. According to this, several methods can help reduce high blood pressure for FSGS patients.

If patients’ hypertension is due to extra fluid retention in blood vessels, it is a little easier to control through limiting the intake of fluid and sodium and taking correct anti-hypertensive medications.

To arrange a low-sodium diet plan, the daily recommendation of sodium intake is about 1,500~2,500 mg. The principle of fluid intake is to make FSGS patients live easier with their own kidneys. As for anti-hypertensive medications, diuretic can help increase urine output and eliminate extra fluid that can help manage high blood pressure caused by fluid retention. Besides, ACEI and ARBs are also helpful. In order to strengthen the therapeutic effects and reduce side effects, patients are also recommended to take in two or more types of these medications.

If high blood pressure is caused by the abnormal secretion of hormones by kidneys or side effect of medicines, it will be difficult to lower it.

In this case, the treatment should be able to repair damaged kidney cells and improve kidney function. According to this, Immunotherapy is one good choice. It can not only cleanse the internal environment but also provide more blood and oxygen for inherent kidney cells. Thereby, improved kidneys can do their work relatively normally. That’s to say, this therapy can treat FSGS from the root. Of course, a healthy diet plan and some anti-hypertensive medicines are also needed to support this therapy.

If you are also suffering from high blood pressure and FSGS, you can select correct treatment to lower it efficiently.
