Winter may feel pleasant, but your blood pressure often tells a different story.
Cold weather tightens your blood vessels, and reduced water intake thickens the blood, together pushing your BP higher than usual. These seasonal spikes silently strain your kidneys, especially if you already have hypertension or early CKD.
This winter, keep yourself hydrated, monitor your BP regularly, and donât ignore unusual readings. A simple kidney check can prevent long-term damage and keep you healthy through the colder months.
