Let me let you in a bit on my work with advocating for Healthy Kidneys
So I went into his shop at EJISU to patronize a service......

When he spotted my shirt, it was as though he was waiting for me.

His brother had just passed on with kidney failure, his Pastor is currently living with kidney disease so he wouldn't allow me to leave his shop, unless I educated him and his workers on what causes and how he can prevent himself from getting it.

He was shocked when I mentioned the causes.
When I mentioned diabetes, he said, "How"

When I mentioned high blood pressure, he, "what! You mean BP can cause kidney disease"

Long story short, when it hits someone close to you, you will take us serious.

Currently, when you are diagnosed with hypertension even without kidney disease, ensure your medications include ones that will prevent kidney disease and heart complications. It’s not just about blood pressure control but medications that have been shown to improve your life span and prevent complications.

The moment you are diagnosed with hypertension, your doctors should check your kidney function. If you have both hypertension and kidney disease, ensure you are referred to see a kidney specialist and you will be put on medications that prevent worsening of your kidney function.

This is the big challenge with hypertension because it does not show any symptoms and most people are not inactive habit of checking their BP. Have you checked yours yet. Let’s not play the ostrich!

18/05/2024

One of the major reasons why most people with hypertension stop their medications is the fear to take medications for a long time.

They are then promised “quick fixes” with herbal medications and the ignorantly believe it. The next few days or weeks they are rushed to the hospital because of convulsions, stroke, heart attack, kidney disease.
Stay with your doctor or specialist and discuss any concerns you may have for lasting solutions that will ensure you have a normal blood pressure to avoid these complications!

Let me let you into what I see sometimes

We checked her BP.
The top figure (systolic) was over 200! 😳
She walked to the hospital to complain she wasn't well.

Immediately, she was sent to emergency!
But she didn't understand why she should be taken to emergency, after all, it is mere headache and some sweat bi....
She even had the boldness to warn the nurse that she didn't want to be admitted!

The doctor present there with me looked at me and said, this is a time bomb.......

Moments later, I saw her walking home. 🤦
Indeed, she wasn't detained for long.

The Doctor with me said, "this woman could develop a stroke any moment if she doesn't take us serious" hmmm

I wish people know what they are walking about with and the implications.

Well, we shall keep educating you.
The rest na your case.

Truth is that High Blood Pressure can cause both and

11/05/2024

This is the main reason why I am worrying you with tips the whole of this month. When your blood pressure is poorly controlled, it can cause kidney disease in the short run and if you don’t still bother, it will lead to chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. When kidney failure develops, you will need dialysis or kidney transplant to survive. Check and control your blood pressure NOW!
