ABSTRACT

Background: High blood pressure is a predominant existing conflict in individuals with chronic kidney disease, significantly contributing to disease progression and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This review aims to examine the impact of hypertension on CKD and discuss effective clinical management strategies. Purpose of the Study: This study aims to analyse the impact of hypertension on the progression of CKD and to explore effective clinical management strategies to control blood pressure and mitigate associated risks. Conclusion: Managing hypertension in CKD is critical to slowing disease progression and reducing cardiovascular risks. A multifaceted approach that combines pharmacological and lifestyle interventions, guided by regular monitoring and patient-specific adjustments, is essential for optimal outcomes. Ongoing research and clinical trials are necessary to refine these strategies and improve patient care in this high-risk population.
