Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease: Guidelines and Therapies

Le résumé fourni par la source

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with elevated blood pressure, with both entities worsening over time. Patients with kidney disease are unique in terms of co-existing medical problems, proclivity for fluid retention, and resistance to treatment compared to patients with hypertension that do not have kidney involvement. This review will describe the physiologic relationship between hypertension and kidney disease, and describe the many classes of anti-hypertensive medications that curb both diseases. We will explain the correct way to measure and replicate blood pressure readings for patients and include the latest guidelines to follow from our international consensus experts. We have hope for the future as several new treatments are undergoing trials and awaiting approval.
