Hypertension Related to Kidney Disease

High blood pressure is both a cause and a consequence of kidney disease. When the kidneys are affected, they can lose their ability to regulate blood pressure effectively, leading to a cycle of worsening function. Managing hypertension is critical to slowing kidney damage. At Lake Erie Nephrology, we specialize in evaluating and treating complex blood pressure issues, particularly those resistant to standard medications. Our assessments include home monitoring, 24-hour ambulatory testing, and laboratory evaluation for secondary causes. Treatment plans are customized and may involve multiple antihypertensive medications, dietary guidance, and lifestyle changes. We emphasize the use of kidney-protective agents and monitor closely for side effects and effectiveness. Our team collaborates with primary care providers and cardiologists to ensure a coordinated approach. We also offer patient education and remote monitoring tools to support blood pressure control between visits. If you have high blood pressure that’s hard to control or linked to kidney issues, Lake Erie Nephrology can help. Visit us in Oregon, Toledo, or Wauseon to start a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan.
