Two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials concluded that in early autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), rigorous blood-pressure control was associated with a slower increase in total kidney volume, a greater decline in the left-ventricular-mass index, and greater reduction in urinary albumin excretion; monotherapy with an ACE inhibitor lisinopril was associated with blood-pressure control in most patients with ADPKD and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. The addition of an ARB telmisartan did not alter the decline in the estimated GFR. Hypertension develops early in patients with ADPKD and is associated with disease progression. The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension in patients with ADPKD.
