Other secondary hypertension - what does this mean
Other secondary hypertension is a form of high blood pressure caused by an underlying medical condition, such as kidney disease, endocrine disorders, or the use of certain medications. it is usually diagnosed after a thorough medical evaluation and tests to rule out other causes of high blood pressure.
What happens during the disease - other secondary hypertension
Other secondary hypertension is a type of hypertension that is caused by an underlying medical condition such as kidney disease, endocrine disorders, or certain medications. it is typically characterized by an increase in the peripheral resistance of the arterial circulation, leading to increased blood pressure. this increased peripheral resistance is caused by several factors, such as an increased release of vasoconstrictive hormones, increased production of inflammatory mediators, and increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. these changes lead to an increase in blood pressure, which can cause serious health complications if left untreated.
