Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes are the two significant cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypertension is present in >50 % of those with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and the prevalence increases with diminishing eGFR in parallel with the increasing risk for cardiovascular outcomes. Inappropriate activation of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) contributes substantially to hypertension in individuals with kidney disease and the high prevalence of CVD. Thereby, intervention with agents that interrupt the RAS and SNS improve not only hypertension but slow the progression and CKD-related CVD morbidity and mortality.
