Cause #7: Kidney Problems
Our kidneys do a superb job of removing unwanted items such as toxins from our blood. Once filtered from the blood, these unwelcome elements are then excreted in the urine. The kidneys do a very important job and we can begin to feel it when things start to go wrong.
Kidneys regulate the volume in our bodies. When a patient has kidney disease, they are prone to have excess volume and this issue will lead them to develop hypertension over time as the blood vessels struggle to deal with the extra amount of fluid.
