Reduced glomerular filtration rate in chronic kidney disease eventually produces sodium retention and a fall in plasma renin level with minimal dependence of systemic angiotensin II, causing volume expansion and subsequent increased arterial pressure. In this situation, blockades of renin-angiotensin system are less effective in controlling systemic blood pressure
