Introduction: chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development of circulatory diseases and cardiovascular complications. Hypertension due to nephrology diseases is the most common cause of symptomatic hypertension.

Aim: to conduct systematic research of scientific information on risk assessment, development mechanisms and principles of treatment for arterial hypertension in chronic kidney disease.

Search strategy. The search for relevant scientific publications was carried out in databases of evidence-based medicine (PubMed, Cochrane Library, ResearchGate, Google Scholar), and the electronic scientific libraries (CyberLeninka, e-library).

Inclusion criteria were studies carried out in people published in English, Russian, full-text versions of articles. Preference was given to studies of high methodological quality (meta-analyzes, systematic reviews and cohort studies). In case of absence such types of publications the study included the publication of case-control and cross-sectional design.

Key words for search were: “chronic kidney disease and hypertension”, “chronic kidney disease and complications”, “chronic kidney disease and outcomes”, “hypertension and treatment and chronic kidney disease”. A total of 217 literary sources were found, of which 64 articles were selected for subsequent analysis.

Results: The research findings are characterized by availability of sufficient number of systematic reviews, randomized clinical trials, clinical guidelines, which allows us to make conclusions regarding the risk assessment, development mechanisms and principles of treatment of AH in CKD.

Conclusions: hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for the development of chronic renal damage with a decrease in kidney function. In turn, CKD of any etiology accompanied by the development of hypertension, its severity is directly related to the risk of developing terminal renal failure. This necessitates an integrated approach to the treatment of hypertension. Only timely detection and adequate cardiac and nephro-protective therapy can slow down progression of pathology.
