Abstract
Hypertension is a common finding in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is associated with kidney disease progression. Hypertensive nephropathy is a diagnosis, mostly based on clinical suspicion and defines many cases of CKD of unknown etiology. The risk of progression of hypertension-attributed nephropathy seems to have a genetic background as has been demonstrated in African-American patients with APOL1 gene risk variants.
