Will The Health Of A Female Suffering Congestive Heart And Damaged Kidney Due To HBP Continue?
I m concerned about my wife s health, she has congestive heart failure, which seems to be getting worse. Her last visit to the doctor shows her heart is getting weaker and kidneys are getting damaged due to her high blood pressure. Will her health steady decline from here?

hi,
kidney disease accelerates cardiac damage. the main concern here is fluid overload.
Put her on very low salt diet, give her good diuretics and other drugs as prescribed by tour doctor. There are presently very good options for managing both. so,she should be fine.
hope this helped.
