Default Could hypertension and kidney disorders be related.? - 12-24-2008, 01:25 AM

Recently had a baby and suddenly developed hypertension. My obgyn can't seem to tell a reason other than this occassionally happens and it may subside or maynot. The reason i'm relating this to kidney disorder is because during my pregnancy I had a lot protein in my urine but no elevation in bp.

It is very important that they check your urine again for protein. Hypertension and proteinuria means your kidneys are underattack, and with time can lead to failure.

Yes, kidney problems can cause hypertension. Ask your doctor if you should see a kidney specialist for testing. They may want to do a battery of kidney tests.
