The causes of blood pressure may vary according to individuals. Certain associations have been noticed with people having essential hypertension. They include a high intake of salt, hereditary (genetic) susceptibility, obesity and kidney failure (renal insufficiency). Lack of exercise and aging inflammation may also play a role in the development of hypertension. In about 10 to 5 % of the remaining cases hypertension is due to certain factors that can be corrected. They include:  Narrowing of certain arteries Kidney abnormality Structural abnormality of the aorta existing from birthThe metabolic syndrome where individuals have insulin resistance and a tendency to Type 2 Diabetes is also a cause of developing hypertension. |
