Impact of high blood pressure on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes mellitus are significant risk factors for chronic kidney disease. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypertension on renal function in patients with diabetes. Quantitative, descriptive, and correlational research was conducted with a sample of patients diagnosed with both conditions. A questionnaire was used to assess the impact of hypertension, and blood tests were performed to measure kidney function. The results indicated moderate renal involvement and revealed a negative correlation between blood pressure levels and kidney function. It is concluded that adequate control of hypertension is essential to prevent renal deterioration in patients with diabetes, highlighting the importance of comprehensive management of both conditions to improve patient health.
