Now they next need to identify if long term issues of how well the kidneys-to-bladder functions are working, or not working so well, has an impact on the renin cells in the kidneys and thus indirectly on blood pressure. I think that is important to finding some of the “first-cause” ways (likely more than one) by which high blood pressure is instigated. Without that sort of question and findings about it, I think many blood pressure related issues remain a “which comes first, the chicken or the egg” kind of question.
How this relates to long time blood pressure remedies is not so far a stretch, given one of the early and easiest remedies has been very simple diuretics that reduce the water in the system and by doing so has some blood pressure lowering affect. It opens the question of why would there be such a remedy needed (and working) if the kidney to bladder functions were always working at their best in the first place? You’d think a water retention issue would originate NOT in the blood pressure it has an affect on, but what is causing the water retention in the first place, and thus attacking the root cause(s) would be better long term aid to blood pressure than diuretic pills.
Nitrogen is your friend. Check it out. Most tire shops maintain pressure for free when required, one-time cost.
make a tire pressure reporting system that doesn’t trigger the warning light for no reason.

VW uses the anti-lock braking system. It monitors wheel speed, and if a tire is ‘faster’, the radius is decreasing, indicating air loss.
No sender inside the tire.
Mine sent a signal. Tires looked OK. Three were 34, one was 26 and it looked fine. Had a nail.
Good article, thanks for posting. I suffer from both high and low blood pressure that my kidney specialist is treating now. She’s taken me off a lot of blood pressure medication that wasn’t helping me that long term and hurting my kidney function.
I’m going to print the article and show it to my regular and kidney doctors.
If you check ‘cold’ in the am you are off to a good start.
Driving will heat the tires and increase pressure. That is OK.
One person kept checking his tires and letting out air as they got hot and pressure went up. And then they would flex and get hot and pressure go up, and he would let air out repeatedly. Finally blew a tire. Might have been a loaded pick up situation.
If I set my tires ‘cold’ at say 32 degF and traveled where it was a lot hotter I would adjust. Again in the am, setting to spec. pressure.
Now if I went from snowy to desert hell fire in one day, I might want adjust mid day.
Air is about 80% nitrogen.
So you have a head start on nitrogen in your tires.
It is my theory that the oxygen permeates out of the tire faster than the nitrogen. So you fill with air, and ooze out the oxygen.
Bye and Bye your nitrogen percentage goes up and the addition of air is not needed so often.
Hopefully this discovery will lead to a ‘universal’ med that works for everyone, every time.
Over the years I have been on several different meds. Each worked for a year or two then they stop working and the doc has to find another type..............................
