Abstract
While hypertension occurs in ±15% of a normal population, its frequency is much higher in patients with renal disease. Roughly speaking the incidence increases in parallel with progression of renal failure, and by the time dialysis treatment is started, up to 90% of the patients are hypertensive. The appearance of hypertension is related to the nature of the renal disease. It is most frequent — and may start before functional impairment — in various glomerular diseases and polycystic kidneys, while its onset is later in primary tubular and interstitial disorders. This difference is probably due to differences in salt excretion impairment and/or in activity of the renin-agiotensin system. Once the patient has become anuric, the relation of BP to the underlying disease is less clear, but this subject has not been sufficiently analyzed.
