Hypertension is a common sequela to renal disease in cats and dogs, affecting as many as 61% cats and 93% of dogs, respectively. Undiagnosed and untreated, elevations in blood pressure can have deleterious effects on the brain and heart as well as promote further renal injury. In this article, we discuss the identification of patients at risk for hypertension as well as methods for measuring blood pressure and the treatment of hypertensive patients.
高血压是猫和狗肾脏疾病常见的后遗症,分别影响多达61%的猫和93%的狗。如果未被诊断和治疗,血压升高会对大脑和心脏产生有害影响,并促进进一步的肾脏损伤。在本文中,我们讨论了高血压风险患者的识别、测量血压的方法以及高血压患者的治疗。
