Why is Hypertension Prevalent in Renal Disorder Patients?
Hypertension is prevalent due to several mechanisms, including fluid retention, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and increased sympathetic nervous system activity. The kidneys' inability to excrete sodium effectively leads to fluid retention, which increases blood pressure. The activated RAAS further contributes to vasoconstriction and sodium retention.
