1. The antibiotic therapy the child is receiving can influence increases in blood pressure. 2. The child can develop hypotension at any time because of the damage to the kidneys. 3. A child with this illness can have sudden increases in blood pressure without warning. 4. Blood pressure must be maintained within normal limits to make sure that the kidneys do not stop working.
