Chronic Kidney Disease.
End-Stage Renal Disease.
CKD is a progressive loss of function over several months to years, characterized by gradual replacement of normal kidney architecture with interstitial fibrosis.
CKD is defined as either of the following conditions for a minimum of 3 months: GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, or old damage to the kidneys with or without a decrease in GFR.
The prevalence of CKD increases with age and is greater in females.
CKD is a disease when GFR falls below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 over at least 3 months.
CKD is a broad term that includes subtle decreases in kidney function that develop over a minimum of 3 months.
In contrast acute kidney injury refers to any deterioration in kidney function that happens in less than 3 months.
Hypertension is defined when an individual had a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90mm Hg, was taking antihypertensive drugs, or had previously been diagnosed as hypertensive by health care professionals.

1. High Blood Pressure
and Kidney Disease
National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse
U.S. Department
of Health and
Human Services
NATIONAL
INSTITUTES
OF HEALTH
The kidneys play a key role in keeping a
person’s blood pressure in a healthy range,
and blood pressure, in turn, can affect the
health of the kidneys. High blood pressure,
also called hypertension, can damage the
kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease
(CKD).
What is high blood
pressure?
Blood pressure measures the force of blood
against the walls of the blood vessels. Extra
fluid in the body increases the amount of
fluid in blood vessels and makes blood pres
sure higher. Narrow, stiff, or clogged blood
vessels also raise blood pressure.
People with high blood pressure should see
their doctor regularly.

How does high blood
pressure hurt the kidneys?
High blood pressure makes the heart
work harder and, over time, can damage
blood vessels throughout the body. If the
blood vessels in the kidneys are damaged,
they may stop removing wastes and extra
fluid from the body. The extra fluid in the
blood vessels may then raise blood pres
sure even more. It’s a dangerous cycle.
High blood pressure is one of the leading
causes of kidney failure, also called endstage renal disease (ESRD). People with
kidney failure must either receive a kidney
transplant or have regular blood-cleansing
treatments called dialysis. Every year,
high blood pressure causes more than
25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the
United States.1
What are the signs and
symptoms of high blood
pressure?
Most people with high blood pressure
have no symptoms. The only way to know
whether a person’s blood pressure is high
is to have a health professional measure
it with a blood pressure cuff. The result
is expressed as two numbers. The top
number, called the systolic pressure,
represents the pressure when the heart
Normal
Hypertension can result from too much fluid in
normal blood vessels or from normal fluid in narrow,
stiff, or clogged blood vessels.

the diastolic pressure, shows the pressure
when the heart is resting between beats. A
person’s blood pressure is considered nor
mal if it stays at or below 120/80, which is
commonly stated as “120 over 80.” People
with a systolic blood pressure of 120 to 139
or a diastolic blood pressure of 80 to 89
are considered prehypertensive and should
adopt lifestyle changes to lower their blood
pressure and prevent heart and blood ves
sel diseases. A person whose systolic blood
pressure is consistently 140 or higher or
whose diastolic pressure is 90 or higher is
considered to have high blood pressure and
should talk with a doctor about the best
ways to lower it.
What are the signs and
symptoms of chronic kidney
disease (CKD)?
Early kidney disease is a silent problem,
like high blood pressure, and does not have
any symptoms. People may have CKD but
not know it because they do not feel sick. A
person’s glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
is a measure of how well the kidneys are
filtering wastes from the blood. GFR is
estimated from a routine measurement of
creatinine in the blood. The result is called
the estimated GFR (eGFR).
Creatinine is a waste product formed by the
normal breakdown of muscle cells. Healthy
kidneys take creatinine out of the blood
and put it into the urine to leave the body.
When the kidneys are not working well, cre
atinine builds up in the blood.
2
High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease
An eGFR with a value below 60 millili
ters per minute (mL/min) suggests some
kidney damage has occurred. The score
means that a person’s kidneys are not
working at full strength.
Another sign of CKD is proteinuria, or
protein in the urine. Healthy kidneys take
wastes out of the blood but leave protein.
Impaired kidneys may fail to separate a
blood protein called albumin from the
wastes. At first, only small amounts of
albumin may leak into the urine, a condi
tion known as microalbuminuria, a sign of
failing kidney function. As kidney func
tion worsens, the amount of albumin and
other proteins in the urine increases, and
the condition is called proteinuria. CKD is
present when more than 30 milligrams of
albumin per gram of creatinine is excreted
in urine, with or without decreased eGFR.
How can kidney damage
from high blood pressure
be prevented?
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), one of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), recommends
that people with CKD use whatever
therapy is necessary, including lifestyle
changes and medicines, to keep their
blood pressure below 130/80.
3. How can blood pressure
be controlled?
The NHLBI recommends five lifestyle
changes that help control blood pres
sure. People with prehypertension or
high blood pressure should
• maintain their weight at a level
close to normal.
• eat fresh fruits and vegetables,
grains, and low-fat dairy foods.
• limit their daily salt, or sodium,
intake to 2,000 milligrams. They
should limit frozen foods and trips
to fast food restaurants. They
should read nutrition labels on
packaged foods to learn how much
sodium is in one serving. Keeping
a sodium diary can help monitor
sodium intake.
• get plenty of exercise—at least
30 minutes of moderate activity,
such as walking, cycling, or swim
ming, most days of the week.
• avoid consuming too much alcohol.
Men should have no more than
two drinks—two 12-ounce servings
of beer or two 5-ounce servings
of wine or two 1.5-ounce servings
of hard liquor—a day. Women
should have no more than a single
serving a day because differences
in the way foods are broken down
in the body make women more
sensitive to the effects of alcohol.
Can medicines help control
blood pressure?
Many people need medicine to control
high blood pressure. Several effective
blood pressure medicines are available.
The most common types of blood pressure
medicines doctors prescribe are diuretics,
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers
(ARBs), beta blockers, and calcium chan
nel blockers. Two of these medicines, the
ACE inhibitors and ARBs, have an added
protective effect on the kidneys. Stud
ies have shown that ACE inhibitors and
ARBs reduce proteinuria and slow the
progression of kidney damage. Diuretics,
also known as “water pills,” help a per
son urinate and get rid of excess fluid in
the body. A combination of two or more
blood pressure medicines may be needed
to keep blood pressure below 130/80.
Who is at risk for kidney
failure related to high
blood pressure?
Everyone has some risk of developing
kidney failure from high blood pressure.
African Americans, however, are more
likely than Caucasians to have high
blood pressure and its related kidney
problems—even when their blood
pressure is only mildly elevated. In
fact, African Americans are six times
more likely than Caucasians to develop
hypertension-related kidney failure.2

4. People with diabetes also have a greater
risk of developing kidney failure. Early
management of high blood pressure is
especially important for African Ameri
cans with diabetes.
The National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK),
also part of the NIH, sponsored the Afri
can American Study of Kidney Disease
and Hypertension (AASK) to find effec
tive ways to prevent high blood pressure
and kidney failure in this population. The
results, published in the November 20,
2002, issue of the Journal of the American
Medical Association, showed that an ACE
inhibitor was the most effective drug at
slowing the progression of kidney dis
ease in African Americans. While ACE
inhibitors help reduce the risk of kidney
disease, they are less effective in lowering
blood pressure in African Americans than
in Caucasians.
Points to Remember
• Every year, high blood pressure
causes more than 25,000 new cases of
kidney failure in the United States.
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is
present when the estimated glomeru
lar filtration rate (eGFR) is below
60 milliliters per minute (mL/min).
• More than 30 milligrams of albumin
per gram of creatinine in a urine
sample is another sign of CKD.
• People with CKD should try to keep
their blood pressure below 130/80.
• Two groups of medicines called
angiotensin-converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin
receptor blockers (ARBs) lower
blood pressure and have an added
protective effect on the kidneys.
• African Americans are six times more
likely than Caucasians to develop
hypertension-related kidney failure.
• Early management of high blood
pressure is especially important for
African Americans with diabetes.

In recent years, researchers have learned
a great deal about kidney disease. The
NIDDK sponsors several programs aimed
at understanding kidney failure and finding
treatments to stop its progression.

The NIDDK’s Division of Kidney,
Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases sup
ports basic research into normal kidney
function and the diseases that impair
normal function, including diabetes, high
blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, and
polycystic kidney disease.
Participants in clinical trials can play a
more active role in their own health care,
gain access to new research treatments
before they are widely available, and help
others by contributing to medical research.
