Abstract
The cases summarized here illustrate different ways of controlling hypertension in patients with chronic renal failure. Dietary restriction of sodium and protein is most effective if some renal function remains and the renal disease is fairly stable. Effective control through achievement of dry weight is possible in a majority of patients undergoing dialysis. Candidates for bilateral nephrectomy are those patients in the unresponsive minority, who can be identified by an elevation of serum renin.
