肾衰竭的主要原因- 高血压

在新加坡，高血压是肾衰竭的第二主要因素。 之所以称之为“沉默的杀手”，因为它没有什么征兆。每三名新加坡成年人就有一人患有高血压。

血压是血管承受血的压力，它由两部分组成：

血压是血液流通血管和心脏时所产生的压力。高血压指的是当一个人处于休息状态时血压持续超过140/90mmHg。血液和血管中有多余的液体，血管狭窄、僵硬或阻塞都是导致高血压的因素。

高血压会损害肾脏中的血管，降低它们正常工作的能力。肾脏因此可能无法清除体内的废物和多余的液体。血管中多余的液体可能会进一步增加血压，从而形成恶性循环，导致肾脏受损。

症状和体征

持续性头痛

视力模糊或复视

流鼻血

呼吸急促

不受控制的高血压将可能导致其他严重并发症，如心脏病发作、中风和失明。

不受控制的高血压将如何影响我的肾脏？

  • 不受控制的高血压会损害和削弱肾脏的血管壁

  • 受损的血管无法获得所需的氧气和营养而不能正常运作

  • 肾脏失去过滤血液和调节体内液体、激素、酸和盐的能力

  • 体内积聚的多余液体和有毒废物可能会使血压进一步升高，从而形成一个危险的循环

要注意些什么？
高血压定义为血压持续超过140/90毫米汞柱。

血压 高的指数 低的指数
正常 低于 120 低于 80
临界性 130 — 139 80 — 89
高 140 或更高 90 或更高

(HPB, 2019)       

控制血压是一个终生的承诺。随着生活方式的改善，高血压是可逆转的！

饮食上的改变，包括限制盐和酒精的摄入，以及减轻体重，已被证明对高血压的治疗是有益的。
