    My doctor explained that high blood pressure damages kidneys, and damaged kidneys raise blood pressure. It sounds like a loop. 🔄 How do you break it?

    Blood pressure and kidneys

    How they affect each other

    Direction Effect
    High BP → kidneys 🩸 Damages small filters over time
    Kidney damage → high BP Hormones and fluid balance change

    What helps

    • Monitoring BP at home
    • Reducing sodium intake
    • Regular doctor follow-ups and labs
    • Medications if prescribed 💊
