Abstract
The prevalence of hypertension is extremely high in end-stage renal disease, and is a probable contributor to the epidemic of cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease. However, the paucity of prospective, randomized clinical trials makes it difficult to precisely define treatment strategies. Therefore, at present time the guidelines developed by the National Kidney Foundation's Cardiovascular Disease Task Force should be followed.Keywords
