High blood pressure and kidney disease should be thought of as an
interlinked vicious cycle, which feed each other and make things
mutually and progressively worse. All professionals in
Nephrology and hypertension agree on the risk that high blood pressure
poses to the kidneys, and the importance of blood pressure control for
protecting the kidneys. Achieved blood pressure correlates with
progression of renal failure. There is no guarantee that a person with hypertension will present any
symptoms of the condition. About 33% of people actually do not know that they
have high blood pressure, and this ignorance can last for years.
Even in studies that fail to show that lower blood pressures results in
decreased progression of renal failure when we organize the results by achieved
blood pressure rather than by intention to treat we see that lower blood
pressures have slower progression of renal failure.
Some 2.5 million Malaysians have some form of kidney disease – and it is
no thanks to their unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits. At present, there are about 30,000 people on
dialysis and the number is increasing by about 5,000 to 6,000 each year.
Every year, about 10% of dialysis patients die
due to lack of organ donors. National
Kidney Foundation's (NKF) board of directors was now on a mission to educate
people on the disease and also to get those in the high-risk group to go for
health screening for early detection of the disease.
