Abstract
Arterial pressure was measured in 94 adult patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and the data obtained were compared with those of 2 groups of patients with other chronic renal diseases. Patients with PKD having a glomerular filtration rate within normal limits were more frequently hypertensive than those with other renal diseases. This relationship was reversed when patients with severe renal insufficiency were considered.
