Common Symptoms of Hypertensive Kidney Disease

Hypertensive Kidney Disease is a serious complication of high blood pressure. If people have poor control of blood pressure, it will damage the systemic blood vessels including those in kidneys thus leading to nephrosclerosis. According some researches, Hypertensive Kidney Disease is the secondary leading cause of Renal Failure. Therefore, early inspection and treatment are very important for the patients to slow down the disease progression into Renal Failure. Therefore, the patients with high blood pressure should pay more attention to the symptoms of Hypertensive Kidney Disease.

1. Increased urination at night

High blood pressure can lead to nephrosclerosis. As a result, the renal tubule is impaired so its concentration ability decreases. The patients will have increased urination at night more than 3 times during a night.

2. Edema

Edema is often the primary symptom of Hypertensive Kidney Disease. The patients usually have systemic edema and even hydrothorax and ascitic fluid in severe case, which can lead to difficulty in breath. Along with edema, the patients also have decreased urine output, high blood pressure and mild azotaemia.

3. Proteinuria

In the late stage of Hypertensive Kidney Disease, the glomeruli are damaged. There is a small amount of protein and red blood cells in urine. Proteinuria is an important index in measuring renal damage. The more protein in urine, the more serious the kidney damage is. In addition, the creatinine clearance rate decreases and serum creatinine level is elevated.

4. Systemic symptoms

The patients with Hypertensive Kidney Disease also have fundus disease and cardiovascular complications, stroke and so on. In some cases, these complications may threaten the patients’ life in the early stage of Hypertensive Kidney Disease.


If the patients with high blood pressure have one or several symptoms above, they should go for check to find if they have renal injury. In order to slow down the progression of Hypertensive Kidney Disease, the patients should keep their blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg. Moreover, they should develop healthy daily habits like keeping a healthy diet for Hypertensive Kidney Disease and keep standard body weight and so on. If they can receive effective treatment in time along with healthy daily care, they will be able to avoid Renal Failure.
