Kidney Disease: Understanding Blood Pressure and how it affects the kidneys.

High Blood Pressure or Hypertension causes Kidney Disease and Kidney Disease causes High Blood Pressure.

In this video, I go over what High Blood Pressure is, ways to lower you blood pressure and how Hypertension will damage your Kidneys.

This video is intended to help slow down and prevent the progression of kidney disease. Always discuss your personal dietary needs with your PCP, dietitian or nephrologist.

This is THE best description of the mechanism of high BP damage I have ever come across.

Thank you once again for the very informative and understandable video.
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with all this.
My mother and husband both passed from kidney failure. I wish I had known more. One had dialysis, the other did not.
Thank you for helping so many people. You are a dear sweet person.

Jesus Christ...I've been on hypertension medication for more than 15 years but this is the first time I ever learned of the mechanism of a stroke! Thanks a lot and somehow I really wish that you are feinting as a dialysis patient. you look gorgeous!❤

I'm beyond thrilled that I found this channel. The info. Is invaluable to me. Im border diabetic, have high BP and 3rd stage KD. exercise a lot every day, (walking, Tai chi, chair yoga, ) and eat healthy foods and still can not seem to bring my numbers down. Very discouraged but I will continue doing same in hopes that I JUST DONT GET WORSE. 0:15

Amazing. I wish my family had found this video and channel earlier. My relative suffered a stroke due to high blood pressure. We didn’t even know he had it. It’s such a critical topic and I wish there was more education on this. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this important information. You make everything very easy to understand.

Thank you.... that's very informative. I resently buried my grandma who was diagnosed with BP years ago and she was taking her medication well, she died at 88 and her cause of death was body -organs failure: includes kidney, liver, heart and hypertension. I now understand it very well, she was the only parent I know in my life 🕊️🕯️

[brookesenfrance]

❤🎉 absolutely brilliant explanation. I am now a subscriber and will be sharing with friends and family

[ninastrok]

Great video!! Can you also make a video on how to proparly measure blood pressure, because many people dont know that and it is good for educating the general public and spreading awareness.☺☺

[musicislife.]

This is exactly what happened to my mother. She didn't take her antihypertensive medicines daily for months then one day she nearly had a stroke, and her remaining kidney function had stopped. Now she is on peritoneal dialysis. Great video! You discussed it well. ❤

God bless you, Mam. Thank you for this precious information

[maxineadderley]

Thank you. Very informative information... Interesting to know that Tina Turner did not take her blood pressure medications because she had no recognizable symptoms... It is a Lesson for many people.

Thank you sooo much for this very useful video!😮

[afkhoso]

thank you for this video, very well explained. although we are on the other end of things. my father has suffered high blood pressure for more than a decade, now we are learning he has kidney disease and his blood pressure is remaining on the lower side, to where he feels weak, tired, no energy. i was looking for that link and came across this video.

Thank you for another wonderful video. Could you sometime discuss more in depth about any neurological manifestations of your kidney's failing that you can remember before discovering you had CKD? i.e. Did you have neuropathy in your feet, legs, etc? Did brain fog ever frighten you....as in, were you ever in situations that shocked you at how difficult it was to think straight or to assess situations? What were the hardest things to cope with before dialysis? Kidney failure is ahead of me and I'm trying to gain as much knowledge of what it's like before it happens. I know all folks are different, but I'd be very interested in more understanding of difficulties you faced.
