Hypertension
Yes, high blood pressure can cause kidney disease, and so monitoring urine for protein is an important test for patients with high blood pressure.
Secondary hyptertension is caused by some other medical problem, such as a kidney disorder or endocrine disorder.
hypertension
This means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).
Hypertension from Renal disease is different from the usual hypertension caused by stress because in renal hypertension, the cause is because of a defect or a disease in the Renal system while the other is caused by stress.

Kidney diseases (nephropathies) are quite common. Some of them are:- AKD (acute kidney disease), often due to physical trauma or ischema (blood starvation)- CKD (chronic kidney disease), often caused by diabetes, lupus, hypertension, but also often idiopathic (ie. cause is unknown). There are many types of CKD. Unfortunately, more often than not, CKD leads to ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease), and dialysis or a transplant is required- kidney cancer- kidney stones- PKD - polycystic kidney disease- IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease).
Sometimes it is hard for one to tell what causes a kidney disease, but anything that can damage the kidneys or blood vessels may cause it to develop a disease. Some examples of kidney disease causes are Diabetes, high blood pressure, blocked renal arteries, overuse of medicines, and disease you are born with can all cause kidney disease or failure.
Depending on how serious the infection is it can cause disease, however if it is caught early, as they usually are and treated there are few risks. If it escalates it can lead to issues as bad as a failed kidney. That is worst case scenario however and not very likely.
