when blood pressure is too low

 It can be harmful when blood pressure suddenly drops. Even a small fluctuation in blood pressure, such as going from 110 mm Hg to 90 mm Hg, might result in fainting and dizziness. Furthermore, large dips, like those brought on by uncontrolled bleeding, serious infections, or allergic reactions, might be fatal.

Describe hypotension. Low blood pressure (less than 90/60 mm Hg) is referred to as hypotension. Low blood pressure can result in fainting, dizziness, or even death. Except in cases when it affects the elderly or happens suddenly, low blood pressure is not a condition that is typically treated.

The stages of any kidney disease include:

• Stage I. Your GFR is higher than 90 but below 100. At this stage, your kidneys have mild damage but still function normally.
• Stage II. Your GFR may be as low as 60 or as high as 89. You have more damage to your kidneys than in stage I, but they still function well.
• Stage III. Your GFR may be as low as 30 or as high as 59. You may have mild or severe loss of kidney function.
• Stage IV. Your GFR may be as low as 15 or as high as 29. You have severe loss of kidney function.
• Stage V. Your GFR is below 15. Your kidneys are nearing or at complete failure.

When is low blood pressure an emergency?

If low blood pressure causes a person to pass out (become unconscious), seek treatment right away. Or call 911 or the local emergency number. If the person is not breathing or has no pulse, begin CPR.
