Abstract
Hypertension is reported to be one of the most common causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Europe and in the United States. However, the frequency with which treated primary hypertension leads to renal failure is not known. The majority of patients with ESRD have hypertension. Whether this is the cause or the consequence of the impaired renal function is often not possible to establish.Keywords
