What Causes High BP After Removing Benign Tumor On Right Kidney?

Hi I had a procedure 4 weeks ago. I had a benign tumour on my right kidney. Under local they removed it by a tube being inserted into my blood vessels and a concoction of things, and it killed off the blood vessels that led to the tumour,so as to starve the tumour of blood .The procedure went well. I have been for a follow up appointment and my consultant wasn t worried that my blood pressure was a little high. My blood pressure today is 155/88 should I be worried. Thankyou Annie

Hello,

The partially raised blood pressure after procedure over kidney is usual for a couple of weeks. Following measures are mandatory:
- Sodium restriction in diet
- Avoid smoking and alcohol if consuming
- Weight control
- Sugar control
- DASH diet
- Avoidance of stress and anxiety
- Hydration with plenty of liquids
- Correction of any underlying electrolyte abnormality
- Regular check over serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels
- Correction of any urinary infection as per the culture report sensitivity
- Avoidance of any nephrotoxic medication

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
