Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular syndrome arising from complex and interrelated etiologies, characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure higher than or equal to 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure higher than or equal to 90 mmHg. Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for chronic kidney disease. This research aims to know the impact of hypertension on chronic kidney disease patients in UKI General Hospital from 2019–to 2020. The design of this research was retrospective. The sample used was 58 patients following inclusion criteria. The instruments used are medical records of hypertension patients in UKI General Hospital from 2019–to 2020. The results showed that 23 (39.7%) patients with hypertension were male, 35 (60.3%) patients with hypertension were female, and 15 (25.9%) patients with hypertension aged 46–55 years and 56–65 years. The chi-square correlation test results between hypertension and chronic kidney disease obtained p> 0.05. It was concluded that in UKI General Hospital during 2019–2020, hypertension has no significant impact on chronic kidney disease.
