Your kidneys regulate the amount of salt that your body releases. So it's also vice versa. Hypertension can ruin the tiny blood vessels in organs thereby causing all sorts of problems in any organ system.

The increased blood pressure puts extra pressure on the glomeruli [the ball shaped filtering packets of the inner kidney] and eventually this causes damage.
Sadly, the body responds to failing kidneys by increasing the blood pressure in an effort to make said kidneys more efficient, so this is a vicious circle.
While increased blood pressure does have some effect on the small blood vessels of major organs, that is more an effect of the glycosolated end products associated with diabetes mellitus
