The association between hypertension and chronic kidney disease is cyclic and complex. In this Review, Townsend and Taler discuss the underlying mechanisms of this association and emphasize the importance of achieving and maintaining adequate blood pressure control in renal disease. They outline the necessity of accurate blood pressure monitoring, the value of drug and non-drug therapies, and assess the current blood pressure targets recommended by different guidelines for patients with chronic kidney disease.
