What mechanism in Kidney Disease CAUSES high blood pressure?I know that high BP can cause kidney disease, but going the other way, what is it about kidney disease that causes high BP?

I did not know that H B/P causes kidney disease.
If the kidneys are not working well, then affect the heart. One of the main jobs of the kidneys is to filter the blood. If the blood is not cleaned, and it goes to the heart, then the heart has to work harder.
That makes B/P to go up.

The kidneys are very important in helping to control blood pressure. They sense how much blood is flowing through certain parts of the kidneys (the glomeruli) and how high the pressure is in those blood vessels. If the kidney thinks the pressure is not high enough, it releases a hormone called renin, which acts to raise blood pressure. In chronic kidney disease, the damage in the kidney often means that blood isn't flowing through the glomeruli normally, so the kidney thinks your blood pressure must be low and releases renin to try and raise it. In the rest of the body the blood is flowing normally so the result overall is high blood pressure.

Actually yes, high blood pressure can cause kidney failure.
