Patients with lupus nephritis often have high blood pressure, and how is high blood pressure caused by lupus nephritis?
For patients with lupus nephritis, hypertension is a common symptom, and it can also aggravate patient’s kidney disease obviously. And for patient who has hypertension, his prognosis is much worse than patients that do not have this complication.
What can cause high blood pressure in patient with lupus nephritis?
High blood pressure in patient with kidney disease is caused by two major reasons. One is the retention of fluid and sodium in patient’s body, and the other is the metabolic disorder of hormone excretion. In fact, both of these two reasons can appear in patient with lupus nephritis.
How is high blood pressure caused by the retention of fluid and sodium?
For patient’s whose hypertension is caused by the retention of fluid and sodium, when there is large amount of fluid and sodium that can not be excreted by kidney, they will increase patient’s blood flow, which will cause patient to have high blood pressure. And this condition is more likely to appear in the late stage of patient’s kidney disease.
How is hypertension caused by hormone excretion?
While for patient whose hypertension is caused by the metabolic disorder of hormone excretion, this condition is also very likely to appear in patient with lupus nephritis. In fact, high blood pressure caused by this reason is mainly related with the retention of renin. Kidney damage may cause the excess excretion of renin, and after a series of reaction, patient’s blood vessel will be shrunk, so the blood pressure will rise.
