Abstract

In patients with renal disease, altered renal function causes elevation of blood pressure, but hypertension in its turn accelerates progression of renal failure. Lowering of blood pressure into the normotensive range is beneficial for slowing progression. Increasing incidence suggests that in this respect ACE inhibitors have unique benefits (renoprotective action).
