Hello,
The cause is kidney disease. There is accumulation of sodium, fluid and other electrolytes which increases intravascular volume and blood pressure. Dialysis is not fully effective in preventing bp hike due to kidney disease. So you need to on medicines for it to control bp. Have low salt diet.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
