1. Do kidney cyst cause high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is the most common sign of the presence of kidney cysts. With time going on, kidney cyst will enlarge and they will produce pressure and promote scarring in the normal, unaffected areas of your kidneys. When some vessels in kidneys are squeezed, it will lead to slow blood flow and even renal ischemia, which stimulates the kidneys to release rennin. The rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system will start to work, contracting the blood vessels and elevating the blood vessels.

2. What is the treatment for high blood pressure in kidney cyst?

Medication

Hypertension in PKD is usually treated by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).

Chinese medicine

The pathogenesis of high blood pressure in PKD is different from primary high blood pressure, so medications to control blood pressure cannot get the desirable effects. The key point for hypertension in kidney cyst is to control the cysts and relieve the pressure on kidney. In this condition, Chinese medicine can control kidney cyst and lower blood pressure radically.

This is because the active ingredients in Chinese medicine can expand blood vessels and improve the kidney microcirculation with increased oxygen and nutrients to kidney. Besides, Chinese medicine can also increase the permeability and remove fluid in capsule so as to shrink kidney cyst. In this way, the pressure on kidney will decline. Renal ischemia will get better and the release of renin will decrease. Thus, high blood pressure will be lowered radically and naturally.
