Urinary tract infection and hypertension.

Hypertension is a clinical syndrome characterized by elevated arterial pressure, which can be complicated with organ damage and metabolic changes such as heart, brain, kidney and retina.

Arterial pressure increases with age, and the mortality and risk of cardiovascular diseases also increase with the increase of blood pressure level, but it is difficult to draw a clear line between normal blood pressure and hypertension. At present, in China, the standard of "Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in China" issued by the Hypertension Association of the Ministry of Health 1999 10, defines the diagnostic standard of hypertension as: systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg for adults over 8 years old who have not taken antihypertensive drugs. However, it is generally believed that maintaining blood pressure at a low level can reduce the incidence of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the world, and accordingly it is proposed that blood pressure should be reduced to below 120/80mmHg.

Experts pointed out that it is very important to improve the understanding, early prevention and early control of hypertension.

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by it are also recognized as the first killer. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020, the prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases will reach the peak.

If the blood pressure is around 140/85 for a long time, you need to pay attention to controlling the salt intake first, and don't eat too salty. If you are fat, you should control your weight and don't eat foods with high cholesterol. If your blood pressure is still that high, you can consider using antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a professional doctor. If you have a stuffy heart or pain, you should have an electrocardiogram or exercise test first.

The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in China refer to the Guidelines for Hypertension in 1999WHO/ISH, and classify the blood pressure of adults over 18 according to different levels:

Ideal blood pressure (

Normal blood pressure (

Normal high value (130—139/85—89mmhg),

1 grade hypertension (140-159/90-99mmhg),

Grade 2 hypertension (160—179/100—109 mmhg),

Grade 3 hypertension (≥180/110mmhg),

Isolated systolic hypertension

(Systolic blood pressure ≥ 140/ diastolic blood pressure)

2 prevention and health care methods of hypertension

Using massage to prevent and treat hypertension has obvious effect. Commonly used methods are as follows:

Waist washing method: put your palms and fingers together, press both sides of the lumbar spine tightly, and squeeze from top to bottom to the buttock and coccyx. Do it 20 times.

Shun qi method: put your hands flat on your chest, put your palms on your chest, take a deep breath through your nose, then exhale through your mouth, and slowly touch your lower abdomen with your hands. Repeat 10 times.

Wipe your forehead: sit down, bend your forefinger with both hands, and wipe it from the Tang Yin point between your eyebrows to your temple with the side of your forefinger. Do it at least 10 times.

Massage Yongquan point method: sit on the bed, push from Yongquan point to heel with both thumbs, and terminate the operation after local heat sensation appears. 65438+ 0 ~ 2 times a day, it is best to massage Yongquan point after foot bath, and the effect is better.

Massage the nail root: pinch the nail root of the thumb of the other hand with the thumb and forefinger and rotate and rub. Then, slowly rub from the edge of the nail to the root of the nail, and don't use too much force. Do it three times in the morning, three times in the middle and three times in the evening.

What foods should hypertensive patients never eat?

Hypertension is a common disease now. For the sake of our health, many people are more likely to become hypertensive patients. Many friends need to know what we should eat to treat and prevent hypertension, but in fact, we should know what foods we can't eat for hypertension. Here are some foods that people with hypertension can't eat.

Some foods can't be eaten after high blood pressure, and some foods need to be restricted, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. For example, the intake of salt must be limited, because the main component of salt is sodium chloride, and sodium leakage will lead to the increase of extracellular fluid, cardiac output and blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should limit their salt intake.

Thirdly, food such as dog meat can't be eaten. Although there are many causes of hypertension, most of them belong to yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. Dog meat can warm kidney and help yang, which can aggravate the condition of hypertension with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. Other types of hypertension, such as kidney-yang deficiency, yang deficiency disorder, excessive phlegm-fire, blood stasis blocking collaterals, eating dog meat or inciting floating yang or aggravating phlegm-fire or helping fire to cool blood, are unfavorable to the condition, so it is not suitable for eating.

In addition, the intake of animal protein should be limited. Patients with hypertension should limit or prohibit the intake of animal protein. Blood pressure fluctuates due to harmful substances produced by protein metabolism. Usually, you can use high-priced and high-quality protein in your diet, such as fish and milk. Some protein, such as aminoethyl xanthate and tyrosine, also have antihypertensive effects.

Finally, don't smoke and drink alcohol after hypertension, which also needs attention, because drinking alcohol will speed up the heart rate, contract blood vessels, raise blood pressure, and promote calcium salt and cholesterol to deposit on the blood vessel wall, thus accelerating arteriosclerosis.

The above are all foods that hypertensive patients can't eat in our lives. Only by knowing what these foods are can we better ensure our health.

Do you know that lower urinary tract infection can cause high blood pressure?

Hypertension is very common in clinic, and most of them are essential hypertension, which belongs to the category of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Hypertension caused by kidney diseases is renal hypertension, which belongs to the category of secondary hypertension, accounting for about 5% ~ 8% of hypertension. This ratio is relatively large. For patients with hypertension, people often only pay attention to hypertension itself, but often ignore the hidden reasons behind hypertension. Due to the lack of sufficient attention to renal hypertension, it is not uncommon to misdiagnose renal hypertension as essential hypertension.

Urinary tract infection (mainly chronic pyelonephritis) is one of the common causes of renal hypertension. According to domestic statistics, chronic pyelonephritis complicated with hypertension accounts for 14%. The blood pressure of patients with renal hypertension generally rises moderately, but a few of them can develop into severe hypertension. Most of these patients have a long history of repeated urinary tract infections, including pyuria and bacteriuria. If the patient has obvious symptoms of bladder irritation, hematuria or pyuria, but the urine is sterile, attention should be paid to the possibility of renal tuberculosis.

When chronic pyelonephritis recurs and eventually leads to renal insufficiency, the probability of hypertension increases obviously. It can also be said that chronic pyelonephritis complicated with hypertension often indicates that the lesion may involve renal parenchyma, so we should be vigilant at this time.
