How long can it take high blood pressure to damage your kidneys?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Extremely high blood pressure can trigger temporary worsening of kidney function (acute kidney injury). But chronic persistent kidney damage requires years of insult from high blood pressure. How quickly this process happens is unique to each individual and depends on other factors (I.e. genetics, presence of diabetes, medication use, etc)

Most BP pills do not harm the Kidneys and can be taken in proper dose indefinitely
