For many Hypertensive Nephropathy patients, their treatments are always
delayed due to their poor understandings of the symptoms of the disease. The
complications of late Hypertensive Nephropathy include Heart Disease, Uremia and
others. The following is the introduction:
Angina, Myocardial Infarction and Heat Failure
The muscle strength increases which drives up the myocardial consumption of
oxygen. If Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis occurs too, the reservation function
of coronary artery blood flow will decrease and the cardiac muscle will provide
less oxygen, which will result in Angina, Myocardial Infarction and Heart
Failure.
Renal Arteriosclerosis and Uremia
Hypertension accompanied by Renal Failure accounts for 10% of the
complications of Hypertensive Nephropathy. Hypertension is closely related to
kidney: on one hand, Hypertension causes the damage of kidney; on the other
hand, the deterioration of renal damage can aggravate Hypertension. Hypertension
and renal failure can affect each other, leading to a vicious cycle. The abrupt
development of Hypertension can result in massive diffuse lesions of renal
arteriole and malignant renal arteriosclerosis, which can develop into Uremia
quickly.
1. Cerebrovascular Accident
It is also called Apoplexy with the characteristics of rapid deterioration
and high fatality rate. It is the most ferocious one among acute cerebrovascular
diseases. The higher the blood pressure of Hypertension patients goes, the
higher the incidence of Apoplexy will become. Once the Hypertension sufferers
present dizziness, headache, nausea, numbness, weakness and other symptoms due
to their overexertion, anger and rage, they should put emphasis on the
possibility of suffering from Apoplexy. If it happens, the patient should go to
hospitals for examinations.
2. Coronary Disease
The change of blood pressure can cause the imbalance between oxygen supply
and oxygen demand of myocardium. If the blood pressure of Hypertension patients
keeps going up, the left ventricular afterload and the arterial pressure of
Hypertensive Heart Disease will increase, which can bring more burden to the
heart and result in Compensatory Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. When Hypertension
is accompanied by Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, it develops into Hypertensive
Heart Disease which will finally lead to Heart Failure.
