Hypertension is a common problem in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affecting both renal and patient survival. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system due to cyst expansion and local renal ischemia has been proposed to play an important role in the development of hypertension in ADPKD. Early and effective treatment of hypertension is very important to decrease the morbidity and mortality of patients with ADPKD.Keywords: Hypertension, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, polycystic kidney diseaseTurkiye Klinikleri J Int Med Sci 2005, 1(4):20-24
