Explain Multiple Renal Arteries?!


Question: Explain Multiple Renal Arteries!?
So, I'm 16 and have been diagnosed with hypertension!. They have ran multiple tests for several months and today I have discovered I have multiple renal arteries!. I have two going to my left kidney and three going to my right!. Apparently, they are giving signals to my body that I have low blood pressure so they are releasing a chemical in order to raise it!. I have been prescribed lisinopril starting Monday!.
It confuses me that me having more arteries would raise my blood pressure!. Is it common to have multiple!? I would like someone explain this further!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Disregard the guy before you post about the stenosis, that can not possibly be the problem!.

Some people are born with multiple arteries and this is not essentially harmful other the release of the hormone!.

Lisinopril is a popular BP medicine called an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE Inhibitor)!.

ACE Inhibitors essentially work by controlling that hormone in the kidneys that says "pump up the pressure!."

Some people have kidneys that release this hormone and do not have any defects of the kidneys or its arteries!.

This just happens sometimes and ACE inhibitors work really well!.

The reason why I know you don't have stenosis is when they were looking at these, they would of been able to tell and they would of tried to place a stent or perform surgery on it!.

You can return to normal activities, just making sure you do daily BP readings!.

When pediatric populations (kids/teens) have high blood pressure or hypertension it is almost always related to the kidneys in some way, usually by that hormone!. Your condition is very popular!. You are not the only one!.

No, it's not common to have more than one renal artery going to each kidney!. What this means is that your kidneys are getting more blood at the same time and your kidneys are releasing a hormone called Anti-diuretic hormone which means that your body is trying to keep all of the fluid that it can from being filtered out!. The medicine you are being put on should help you with this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not that uncommon!. Thing is, you may very well have a secondary and curable type of hypertension which needs no medication!. !.!.called (multiple) renal artery stenosis!. Ask around and keep on the Ace inhibitor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
