My understanding is that there is no causation of ESRD due to the BP medications. Although there does not seem to be a ton of info about it. Remember that drug companies will always warn about ESRD or kidney damage with certain meds that are metabolized or excreted via the renal system, I don't think I have seen a drug insert that did not have something about it.

There is one study after a quick search here:

There are many causes of ESRD, infection, diabetes, etc, high blood pressure is just one of them. Plenty of people get it who don't have high bp but most all people with it also have High bp. The kidneys play an important role in the every day function of our BP.
