    Hypertension has several risk factors including diabetes, family history, age, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, stress, smoking, and diets high in sodium, saturated fats, and alcohol. The kidneys release renin which helps convert angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II in the liver and lungs, causing arteriolar constriction and increased peripheral resistance that leads to high blood pressure and vascular damage over time.
