Help docs! my daughter has one kidney and high blood pressure. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One kidney and hbp: Your daughter can live well with one kidney, as all kidney donors do. Her BP is a problem that needs to be treated, as she can develop chronic kidney disease or kidney failure if it is not . If she is a teenager, have her physician check her for causes of secondary hypertension, such as a renal artery stenosis or a conn's syndrome, among others causing her BP to be elevated. Good luck.
