The third hypertension harm: kidney
Long term continuous hypertension makes the pressure of glomerular capsule increase, glomerular fibrosis, atrophy, and renal arteriosclerosis. Due to the ischemia of renal parenchyma and the decrease of nephron, renal failure eventually occurs. With the continuous development of the disease, the surface of the kidney is granular and the surface becomes thinner. Due to the continuous destruction of nephron, the kidney atrophy, followed by renal insufficiency and uremia.
The forth hypertension harm: retina
Hypertension causes early spasm of retinal arterioles, narrowing of central reflex and artery diameter. If the blood pressure increases for a long time, the retinal artery appears sclerotic change, the artery has silver line reaction, and the artery and vein cross. With the development of the disease, there may be hemorrhage, exudation, edema in the retina, and optic nerve papilla edema in severe cases. Over a long period of time, these exudates will deposit on the retina, and radial wax like small yellow spots will appear on the fundus of the eye.At this time, it can cause visual impairment of the patient, such as blurred vision, visual deformation or diminution, etc.
Hypertension is the primary risk factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Stroke, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by hypertension have become the first killer in China. Although there are many treatment methods, most patients can not achieve the recommended goal of blood pressure control. If there is no standardized antihypertensive treatment, hypertension will lead to stroke, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, renal failure and blindness. Therefore, patients with hypertension should make early diagnosis, early detection and early treatment to minimize the harm of hypertension.
Finally, I wish you all a happy life and good health!To learn more about cardiovascular disease, please pay attention to us. See you next time.
