Diabetes and high blood pressure directly affect kidney health. In fact, they are the two main causes of End Stage Kidney Disease.
When blood sugar stays high for too long, it damages the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys, making it harder for them to filter waste. Knowing your A1C and working to keep it in a healthy range is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your kidneys.
Just like high blood sugar, high blood pressure also harms the kidneys. A healthy blood pressure around 120/80 helps your kidneys work without extra strain. When numbers rise into elevated or high blood pressure zones, it adds stress to your blood vessels and kidneys. Simple habits like eating less salt, staying active, and managing stress can all help keep your blood pressure in a safer, healthier range.
