There could be a few answers.
The 1st that comes to mind is: The kidney play an important role in the regulation of BP. If high blood pressure is too high, simply speaking you may develop polyuria, or frequent urination. This, again put simply, is the bodies was of removing fluid. In the flip of this, if your BP is low, ADH, is released (anti-diuretic hormone) which "tells" the kidneys to decrease urine production to hold onto fluid to increase the BP.
