Renovascular arterial hypertension

Renovascular arterial hypertension is a form of renal arterial hypertension associated with occlusion of the renal artery or its branches. The disease can be cured by restoring blood circulation in the kidneys.

Treatment of arterial hypertension

Treatment of arterial hypertension has a number of general provisions on which the treatment of essential arterial hypertension is based, retaining their significance: adherence to a diet with limited salt and foods that increase cholesterol; withdrawal of drugs that cause the development of arterial hypertension

Arterial hypertension - Causes, pathogenesis and degrees

At the present stage, several factors in the pathogenesis of renal arterial hypertension are identified: sodium and water retention, dysregulation of pressor and depressor hormones, increased formation of free radicals, renal ischemia, and gene disorders.

Arterial hypertension

Arterial hypertension is a condition in which the systolic blood pressure level is equal to or exceeds 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure level is equal to or exceeds 90 mmHg at 3 different blood pressure measurements.

Proteinuria

Proteinuria is the excretion of proteins in the urine that exceeds normal (30-50 mg/day) values, usually a sign of kidney damage.

Metabolic alkalosis

Metabolic alkalosis is a disorder of the acid-base balance, characterized by a decrease in hydrogen and chlorine ions in the extracellular fluid, high blood pH values, and a high concentration of bicarbonate in the blood.

Metabolic acidosis

Metabolic acidosis is a disorder of the acid-base balance, manifested by low blood pH values and low blood bicarbonate concentrations. In the practice of a therapist, metabolic acidosis is one of the most common disorders of the acid-base balance.

Disorders of acid-base state

Acid-base imbalances are pathological reactions that are associated with acid-base imbalances. Acidosis and alkalosis are distinguished.

Hyperkalemia

Hyperkalemia is a condition in which the concentration of potassium in the blood serum exceeds 5 mmol/L.

Hypokalemia

Hypokalemia is a condition in which the concentration of potassium in the blood serum is below 3.5 mmol/l (there are also more stringent criteria for hypokalemia - potassium level below 3.2 mmol/l).
