Summary
High blood pressure and diabetes are the leading causes of end-stage kidney disease. And when people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have untreated high blood pressure, it can lead to heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and early death. Research has shown that ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers), both medications that treat high blood pressure, can reduce kidney damage in diabetes patients with CKD.
