Hypertension and Kidney Failure : A Dual Burden with Multifactorial Management Barriers

Résumé

The book Hypertension and Kidney Failure: A Dual Burden with Multifactorial Management Barriers analyzes the complex interaction between hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD). These interdependent conditions represent major public health challenges and contribute to serious cardiovascular complications. The book describes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and bidirectional mechanisms linking hypertension and kidney damage. It details diagnostic methods, clinical consequences such as left ventricular hypertrophy and nephroangiosclerosis, as well as therapeutic approaches including lifestyle and dietary modifications, pharmacological treatments, and specific strategies for at-risk populations. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of early screening and multidimensional management to slow the progression of both renal and cardiovascular damage.
