Hypertensive urgency involves very high blood pressure without signs of organ damage, while hypertensive emergency is accompanied by evidence of acute target organ damage.
Treatment typically involves oral antihypertensive medications to gradually lower blood pressure, followed by adjustments to long-term medicines and lifestyle recommendations.
