Priya Saxena, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Priya Saxena, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, has a history of poorly controlled hypertension for the past decade. Over the last six months, she began experiencing persistent fatigue, morning headaches, and occasional swelling in her ankles. Her primary care physician noticed her blood pressure remained high despite medication adjustments. Concerned about potential kidney damage, her nephrologist, Dr. Rao, recommended a Renal Doppler ultrasound to assess the blood flow to her kidneys and check for renal artery stenosis. Priya was anxious, fearing a serious diagnosis that could impact her ability to care for her family. The procedure itself was painless; she lay still as the technician moved a transducer over her abdomen with cool gel. The results revealed mild narrowing in one renal artery. Post-procedure, Priya felt relieved to have a clear answer. With a new, targeted medication plan and lifestyle changes, her blood pressure improved significantly. Emotionally, she moved from fear and denial to proactive acceptance, feeling empowered to manage her health.
