Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a medical condition characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and pressure, resulting from different diseases. Due to their high occurrence of PH, intricate hemodynamic classification, and frequently multifactorial cause and mechanism, individuals suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) are categorized as the fifth primary group of PH. Based on both domestic and international research, this article provides information on the epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, and targeted drug treatment of PH associated with CKD.

Keywords: Chronic kidney disease (CKD); Pulmonary hypertension (PH), Epidemiology, Risk factors, Pathogenesis, Targeted drug therapy.
