Resistant Hypertension

Journal of Nephrology & Therapeutics is one of the best open access journals, that aims to publish new discoveries and current developments in the field of Nephrology in the mode of original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc. The Journal has an illustrious board which consists of reputed scientists and medical practitioners from across the globe. Resistant hypertension is high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment. Specifically, resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains elevated above treatment goals despite administration of an optimal three drug regimen that includes a diuretic. Because some cases of high blood pressure are difficult to treat, and may require a combination of multiple drugs before control is established, high blood pressure cannot be called “resistant” until this three-drug combination therapy has failed.
