Abstract

Kidneys have several important functions for the maintenance of homeostasis of the organism, among them is the regulation of arterial blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease is the most common cause of high blood pressure, and hence of hypertension in dogs and cats. Due to this close relationship between blood pressure and renal function, this paper aims to discuss the association between hypertension and chronic kidney disease, addressing the pathophysiology of this disease, its complications and its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
