What do Kidneys have to do with High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure affects millions of people and is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. What many people do not realise is how closely the kidneys and blood pressure are linked, and how problems in one can directly affect the other.
In this talk, Professor Markus Schlaich will explain the important role the kidneys play in regulating blood pressure and why kidney health is essential for overall cardiovascular wellbeing. He will discuss common risk factors, early warning signs, and practical steps people can take to better manage their blood pressure and protect their long-term health.
You can have your blood pressure checked for free at this event.
