Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension?? It is well known fact that if hypertension is not treated on time then it can turn into resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension refers to the condition where blood pressure remains high even after taking three antihypertensive agents of different classes. After various studies it has been seen that renal denervation can lower the blood pressure in hypertensive Patients who are not taking medications. Renal denervation is less painful, endovascular catheter based procedure which uses radio frequency or ultrasound ablation. This procedure removes the nerves in the wall of renal artery by radio frequency pulses or ultrasound. Due to this there is reduction of afferent and efferent activity to the kidney and as a result blood pressure can be reduced. Basically renal denervation provides energy to the kidney nerves and regulates the blood pressure. Studies were conducted to check the efficacy of the t

Uric acid level responsible for increase in blood pressure High Blood Pressure also known as Hypertension , is one of the most common and long-term medical problem faced by people today. High blood pressure refers to the persistent elevation of blood pressure in arteries. It can be classified as Primary and Secondary Hypertension. Hypertension has now become one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. The chances of getting hypertension becomes higher with age, which results in increase mortality rate due to events such as heart failure , myocardial infraction , stroke etc. The level of uric acid plays a major role in controlling blood pressure. Various studies have found uric acid’s association with hypertension . Uric acid is waste product which is the result of food metabolism. The amount of uric acid in our body should be maintained. When the amount of uric acid in our body builds up then it can lead to increase in blood pressure. Too much increase in level of u
