When high blood pressure is caused by the presence of another disease it is called secondary hypertension. The diseases that can cause secondary hypertension are: kidney disease, diabetes, hormonal diseases, such as Cushing’s disease, connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. In addition to a healthy lifestyle, high blood pressure must be fought with vasodilating agents (if the circumference of the vessel is smaller, the blood exerts less pressure to pass through it) or with draining agents to reduce the volume of liquid in the blood and therefore the pressure.
