Persistently elevated blood pressure - the second leading cause of kidney failure and a driver of CKD progression at every stage.
Hypertension both causes and is caused by kidney disease: high pressure damages the glomeruli, and failing kidneys raise pressure through volume and hormonal mechanisms. Control is the single most powerful lever on slowing CKD progression - KDIGO 2021 recommends office systolic pressure below 120 mmHg for most CKD patients when tolerated. Treatment combines sodium restriction, weight control, and medications, usually ACEi or ARB as first-line when albuminuria is present. Home blood pressure monitoring and adherence are central to achieving targets.
