Does frequent nocturia mean kidney disease?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am from the second day of giving birth, breastfeeding, so my blood pressure fluctuates, sometimes before and after my period I often have headaches. Measuring blood pressure, it fluctuates around 140/80, sometimes it drops to 130. I also regularly check kidney function, diabetes. 3 months ago I also tested for normal results. For the past 1 week, my back has been sore, I often drink a lot of water at night, so when my baby wakes up to feed at night, I urinate again. My urine test is normal. My blood pressure today is 140. The day before it fluctuated between 120-130. Ask your doctor if frequent urination at night is likely to have kidney disease? What is the cause of my high blood pressure? My baby is 18 months old and I am still breastfeeding. Thank you doctor!

Hello! Hypertension has many causes, one of the causes of high blood pressure is stress, insomnia, kidney disease, endocrine disease, ... or essential hypertension. Blood pressure is said to be high when the systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg, and the diastolic pressure is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg provided that the patient is measured while lying down and relaxed.
With your condition, you need to see a cardiologist to be determined if you have high blood pressure. Your doctor will probably have you wear a blood pressure holter (24-hour continuous blood pressure monitor) for a more accurate survey of your blood pressure.
To know about the condition of kidney disease, in addition to urine tests, kidney function tests, the doctor may have to do more specialized tests to know for sure. You should see a cardiologist for an accurate examination and advice.
