Emerging evidence from APRIL/BAFF–axis trials underscores how central this pathway is to IgAN biology. Let’s put ORIGIN side by side with the others and see what we learn!
Did you know that BP can increase to >300 mmHg (though for a short time) during maximal weight lifting?
✅Yes, systolic blood pressure can rise to extremely high levels, sometimes beyond 300 mmHg, during maximal weight lifting, especially when techniques like the Valsalva maneuver are used.
▶️Controlled studies with experienced bodybuilders have documented average peak systolic pressures of 320 mmHg during double-leg press exercises, with individual readings reaching up to 370–480 mmHg in rare cases.
✅However, in a healthy person, with normal heart functions, this transient rise in BP does not lead to any adverse health issues. BP returns to normal levels soon after the exercise is over.
