Abstract

The kidneys play an important role in the pathophysiology of hypertension. In patients with a variety of renal diseases, impaired sodium excretion as well as disturbances in renal vasoactive hormone metabolism may be the stimuli which raise blood pressure (Table 1). It should be recognized that there is no meaningful dividing line between ‘hypertension’ and ‘normotension’. Blood pressure is a quantity, and the risks of organ damage seem to be a direct function of the arterial pressure. Our practice is to regard the patient with a diastolic blood pressure persistently over 95 mm Hg as a candidate for antihypertensive therapy.
