However, as kidney function declines, blood pressure rises to allow more blood to be processed through the damaged kidneys, which makes the conditions worse. About 75% of cases are caused by high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and inflammation of the blood vessels in the kidneys. Other common causes are diseases of the large blood vessels, lupus and kidney stones. Once the condition is discovered, it must be carefully monitored. Patients are usually treated to lower their blood pressure and, if possible, their other underlying conditions are treated as well. However, if the disease passes a certain point, dialysis and transplant remain the only options.
