"Exploring The Interrelationship: Serum Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen, And Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Crisis-Induced Renal Dysfunction"

Abstract

Hypertensive crises, comprising hypertensive urgency and emergency, pose significant risks to organ systems, particularly the kidneys. This study explores the correlation between parameters of renal dysfunction—serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)—and blood pressure levels in patients experiencing hypertensive crises. Data from 150 patients admitted with hypertensive crises were analyzed, revealing significant positive correlations between elevated blood pressure and increased levels of serum creatinine and BUN. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring renal parameters in managing hypertensive crises.
