High blood pressure and GFR 41 in PKD
PKD is featured with a number of numerous cysts in the kidneys. With age, the cysts grow in both size and number. As a result, enlarged cysts cause pressure against kidneys and replace more and healthier nephrons. As a result, the kidneys will not be able to get enough blood supply.
When renal ischemia and anoxia occurs, kidneys produce more renin, a hormone that can contract blood vessels. Thus, high blood pressure will occur.
GFR measures how much blood is filtered by glomeruli nephrons. When the nephrons are damaged or are reduced in number, less blood will be filtered by kidneys, resulting in low GFR. GFR normal result between 90 ~ 125 ml / min. So GFR 41 is associated with very severe kidney damage in PKD.
