Why CKD Patients Appear Low Blood Pressure after the Dialysis

I always suffer form the low blood pressure after the dialysis, one of the CKD patients tell me that. I think it is a common question for the CKD patients who are doing the dialysis. and I agree more their mood, so will share something useful to you.

What's Your Blood Pressure?

In 1984 the United States Congress declared May as National Blood Pressure Awareness Month. Twenty years later, more than 50 million American adults (that's about one in six) have high blood pressure, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.

After diabetes, high blood pressure (also called hypertension) is the second leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the US. Patients with ESRD must start dialysis or get a kidney transplant to continue living. According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), high blood pressure causes more than 15,000 new cases of ESRD in the US every year.

Blood pressure and your kidneys

Blood travels away from the heart through special blood vessels, called arteries, to all parts of the body. The pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps is what is measured. The blood pressure measurement has two numbers: a top one, and a bottom one. The top number (systolic) is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when the heart relaxes before the next beat.

When blood pressure is high and left untreated, it can damage the blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body. The smaller blood vessels are the ones usually affected first. Kidneys have small blood vessels that can become damaged by high blood pressure. This can lead to CKD. Because one of the jobs of the kidneys is to control blood pressure this can cause more problems. Renin is a hormone produced by the kidneys. When the kidneys are not working properly, they may release renin causing blood pressure to go up even higher.
