How does a urinary track infection cause dangerous high blood pressure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Urinary blockage: One way it can cause increased blood pressure is from obstructing the flow of urine and causing the bladder to overextend. Overextension of the bladder can significantly elevate blood pressure.
