The kidney in arterial hypertension

Luis M. Ruilope and Jose L. Rodicio

Hypertension Unit, Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain

The kidney facilitates the development of arterial hypertension and suffers its consequences. Once renal damage is clinically manifested, a clear increase in cardiovascular risk appears. The coincidence of renal and cardiovascular damage strengthens the need for therapies attempting the simultaneous protection of both the kidney and the cardiovascular system.

Keywords: chronic renal failure; essential hypertension; microalbuminuria; proteinuria; renal function
