(CKD), the blood pressure (BP) at which antihypertensive interventions should be initiated …

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney
disease. However, the thresholds to initiate BP-lowering treatment in this population are …

Results Of 43,305 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 12.1%(5236 patients) developed
incident CKD. Diabetes was the strongest predictor of incident CKD (hazard ratio, 1.96; 95 …

It is well-known that hypertension exacerbates chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression,
however, the optimal target blood pressure (BP) level in patients with CKD remains unclear …

Background Previous studies established a J-shaped association between blood pressure
(BP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the different …

Rationale & Objective Optimal blood pressure (BP) control is a major therapeutic strategy in

The effect of blood pressure (BP) on the incident cardiovascular events, progression to end-
stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality were evaluated among chronic kidney disease …

Background Few studies have compared different blood pressure (BP) indexes for end-
stage renal disease (ESRD) risk among individuals with chronic kidney disease. Methods …

Blood pressure is a modifiable risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Among hemodialysis
patients, there is a U-shaped association between blood pressure and risk of death …

Background Hypertension is associated with an increased risk of development of chronic
kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear whether pre-hypertension is related to the …
