Resumen
La hipertensión arterial es un gran problema de salud pública, siendo una enfermedad crónica no transmisible, donde la presión arterial se presenta con cifras mayores o iguales a 140/90mmhg, la cual puede llegar a presentarse con grandes complicaciones si no es tratada a tiempo y de forma adecuada.
La hipertensión arterial afecta a todas las poblaciones, excepto un corto número de individuos que viven en sociedades primitivas culturalmente aisladas. Se ha calculado que la hipertensión explica 6% de los fallecimientos a nivel mundial.
La hipertensión y la diabetes son las causas más comunes de enfermedad renal, siendo que la presión arterial alta representa más del 25 por ciento de todos los casos de insuficiencia renal. De no tratarse la enfermedad a tiempo, las consecuencias son desarrollar pérdida de la función renal, y depender de tratamiento de diálisis de forma regular; otra consecuencia es que aumenta el riesgo de muerte prematura por enfermedad cardiovascular asociada como ataques cardíacos y accidentes cerebrovasculares.
Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud la enfermedad renal crónica afecta alrededor del 10% de la población mundial. Si bien es prevenible, ésta no tiene cura, su curso es progresivo, silencioso y presenta síntomas ya en etapas avanzadas, cuando su manejo es por medio de la diálisis o el trasplante de riñón mismos que son de difícil acceso para la mayor parte de los pacientes. La mayor parte de los países carecen no poseen recursos para ofrecer el equipo necesario o los tratamientos para todas las personas que los necesitan. Otra realidad es que la oferta de especialistas disponibles resulta insuficiente.
Hypertension is a major public health problem, being a chronic non-communicable disease where blood pressure occurs with greater than or equal numbers to 140 / 90mmHg, which can be present with serious complications if not treated in time and correctly. Hypertension affects all populations except a small number of individuals living in primitive societies culturally isolated. It has been estimated that hypertension explains 6% of deaths worldwide. Hypertension and diabetes are the most common causes of kidney disease, with high blood pressure accounts for over 25 percent of all cases of kidney failure. If left untreated the disease early, the consequences are developing loss of kidney function, and rely on dialysis on a regular basis; another consequence is that it increases the risk of premature death from associated cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes. According to the World Health Organization chronic kidney disease affects about 10% of the world population. While it is preventable, it has no cure, its course is progressive, silent and symptoms already in advanced stages, when its management is through dialysis or kidney transplant themselves that are difficult to access for most of the patients. Most of the countries do not have the resources to provide the necessary equipment or treatments for all people who need them. Another reality is that the supply of specialists available is insufficient.
