• Description: Objectives: Evidence suggests that renal function increasingly deteriorates in patients with apparently treatment-resistant hypertension (AT RH) in comparison with those who have non-resistant arterial hypertension (NAH). We aimed to assess the long-term decline in renal function between these patient groups and identify specific risk factors contributing to the progression of renal dysfunction.
