title: Hypertension Management in Diabetic Kidney Disease.
abstract: IN BRIEF Hypertension is prevalent in most individuals with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Failure to treat hypertension appropriately in this subgroup of patients results in an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as well as a faster progression of kidney disease. The current guidance for appropriate treatment of hypertension in this high-risk population provides an opportunity to improve both kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. This review discusses the current state of evidence-based hypertension management in patients with DKD.
