How does kidney cyst affect blood pressure?

Kidneys have many important functions and one of the functions is to excrete renin and prostaglandin to regulate blood pressure. If there are cysts on kidneys, with time going on, they will become bigger and bigger. This can oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and put the kidneys into a state of hypoxia and ischemia. Under such condition, kidney function will be damaged, and its ability to regulate blood pressure will also be affected. Kidney cyst patients usually experience high blood pressure. In addition, kidney damage and high blood pressure affect each other. It is important to keep them under control to prevent kidney failure.
