If the blood vessels in your kidneys are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from your body. The extra fluid in your blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more. It's a dangerous cycle. Thanks! @VICTORIA:) Hi, I’m a medical student and like your post so much:) Actually, high blood pressure makes your heart work harder and, over time, can damage blood vessels throughout your body.
