Talk With A Doc: Kidney Conversation

High blood pressure and kidney disease are closely related. The connection between high blood pressure and kidney disease starts with the constriction, narrowing, and damage of the blood vessels throughout the body, including within the kidneys. This affects the kidneys’ function, which is to filter the blood, remove waste, and regulate fluid in the body. In turn, damaged kidneys fail to regulate blood pressure, creating a harmful cycle that could lead to uncontrollable high blood pressure and worsening kidney damage.

Join Dr. Jeremy Carlson, MD, a nephrologist at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, as he discusses the importance of managing high blood pressure and preventing kidney disease. He specializes in management and prevention approaches, including nutritional guidance and exercise recommendations. The goal is to increase your understanding of the connection between chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.
