Summary

When people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have untreated high blood pressure, it can lead to heart problems, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and early death. Improving blood pressure control in people with CKD can help prevent or delay ESKD. Evidence shows that ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) can lower blood pressure and reduce kidney damage.
