What are the symptoms of renal hypertension?
Renal hypertension typically presents with symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, lower limb edema, and changes in urine output. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Elevated Blood Pressure
Damage to the renal parenchyma and renal blood vessels leads to increased blood pressure, causing symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and general weakness. If the condition continues to progress, it may result in heart failure of varying severity, leading to shortness of breath in patients.
2. Lower Limb Edema
The disease itself can cause a series of nephrotic manifestations, such as proteinuria and hematuria, with severe cases developing lower limb edema. Some patients experience varying degrees of renal dysfunction, mainly manifested as renal anemia, nausea, and vomiting.
3. Changes in Urine Output
As the disease progresses, patients may develop frequent nighttime urination, urgency, and dysuria. In individual severe cases, the condition may progress to uremia.
In addition to the above symptoms, renal hypertension may also cause gastrointestinal symptoms, affecting gastrointestinal health. Once symptoms appear, prompt medical evaluation and appropriate treatment at a hospital are necessary.
