摘要
Renal damage as a consequence of uncontrolled arterial hypertension is well recognized. Antihypertensive therapy has come to very significantly decrease the vascular damage in the kidneys of hypertensive patients. However, prevalence of mild renal insufficiency remains present in a significant proportion of the hypertensive population. This is accompanied by a marked increase in cardiovascular risk, as a consequence of the clustering of other cardiovascular risk factors and of insufficiently controlled BP. Prevention and protection of renal and cardiovascular damage in these patients will be one of the most relevent tasks in the future.
