  • Title: Hypertension in renal disease: diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Acierno MJ, Labato MA.
    Journal: Clin Tech Small Anim Pract; 2005 Feb; 20(1):23-30. PubMed ID: 15822527.
    Abstract:
    Hypertension is a common sequela to renal disease in cats and dogs, affecting as many as 61% cats and 93% of dogs, respectively. Undiagnosed and untreated, elevations in blood pressure can have deleterious effects on the brain and heart as well as promote further renal injury. In this article, we discuss the identification of patients at risk for hypertension as well as methods for measuring blood pressure and the treatment of hypertensive patients.
