Hipertensión renovascular - Prevención

Nombres alternativos

Hipertensión renal; Hipertensión de tipo renovascular

Prevención:

La prevención de la ateroesclerosis puede evitar el desarrollo de estenosis de la arteria renal.

Los cambios en el estilo de vida pueden reducir los riesgos de hipertensión arterial. Se debe bajar de peso en caso de que haya sobrepeso, debido a que éste aumenta el esfuerzo que debe realizar el corazón. Se recomienda consultar con el médico antes de empezar un programa de ejercicio riguroso.

Los cambios en la dieta pueden ayudar a controlar la presión arterial. Se debe reducir el consumo de sal (sodio). El sodio se encuentra en la sal, el glutamato monosódico y en el bicarbonato sódico.
