Abstract

Uncontrolled hypertension and its leading cause, cardiovascular disease, are associated with an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Because of the interplay between hypertension and CKD, patients with impaired renal function are at a higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of people with chronic kidney disease who are also hypertensive, as well as the current antihypertensive treatment pattern in CKD patients. The ESH recommended dual and triple therapy, which was prescribed. Given how hypertension and CKD interact, it is crucial to treat hypertension aggressively to improve cardio and Reno protection in these CKD patients. Antihypertensive drug use patterns among CKD patients provide an individual’s BP control and related renal outcomes. In individuals with hypertension CKD, a sensible multimodal antihypertensive regimen can improve patient outcomes.
