[|Human|] Hi there, my step dad is being treated with hypertension. I am a student midwife and interested in becoming a doctor so have given some advice but yesterday apparently his bp was 150/100 using home monitoring. He has seemed unwell and had pain in ?kidney ? intestines region (I wasnt there) he only has one kidney aswell. (born that way). WHen he monitors his BP at what bp should he ring the doctor?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome. Bp above 140/90 mm Hg is considered abnormal & should be treated. Having a single kidney can be a cause for high BP. Pain can also increase the BP temporarily, whicChatDoctores down as soon as the pain is gone due to sympathetic stimulation. Have his KFT (kidney function test) done & monitor the BP regularly. If it persists to be higher than either the medicine need to be escalated or a new Chat Doctor. Thanks
