The role of arterial hypertension in the development of chronic disease of kidneys of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of hypertension in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. A total of 176 patients (53 men and 123 women) with type 2 diabetes mellitus. According to our research revealed a close relationship between blood pressure and indicators of renal function. In our study it was found that high blood pressure contributes to the development of renal dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and long-term essential arterial hypertension resistant to treatment is a major factor in the progression of CKD in these patients.
