Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Increased Blood Pressure In ESRD Patients?
I am a ESRD patient with dialysis twice a week. My blood pressure for long used to be at 130/80 but very recently it shot up to 170/100 and does not go down. Other things that are going on for the past 2 months are - breathlessness, insomnia, lower urine outputs, back pain. Kindly advice
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and I would like to say that if this is the kidney disease and having end stage then such hypertension is just likely and to reduce this dialysis is the only option there, other nursing care would be nice till the patients all vital organs are intact beside the kidney, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
