\r\nOver time, this damage can reduce kidney function and may eventually lead to kidney failure.\r\n

\r\nUnderstanding the connection between hypertension and kidney health can help people recognise warning signs and seek timely medical care.\r\n
\r\n \r\n

How Does High Blood Pressure Cause Kidney Failure?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe kidneys contain tiny blood vessels that filter waste and excess fluid from the body.\r\n

\r\nWhen blood pressure stays high, these vessels can become damaged and narrowed. This reduces the kidneys’ ability to filter blood effectively.\r\n

\r\nAs kidney function declines, excess fluid and salt may build up in the body, further increasing blood pressure.\r\n

\r\nThis creates a cycle where hypertension and kidney damage worsen each other.\r\n
\r\n \r\n

Who Is at Risk?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nCertain factors increase the risk of kidney damage caused by hypertension.\r\n\r\nThese include:\r\n
