“…Uncontrolled or untreated hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases [2,3] and an impending risk factor for chronic kidney disease [4]. Around the world, both in western countries and in other societies, many patients are unaware of their condition, in spite of available cost-effective medications [5], and thus left untreated [6].…”

“…The therapy of hypertension may then depend on the cause. 36,37 In hypertension associated with CKD (intrinsic renal disease), first-line therapy is an ACEI or ARB, particularly if proteinuria/albuminuria is present. 5 Activation of the renin angiotensin-aldosterone system underlies the use of ACEIs or ARBs as the drugs of choice.…”

“…Subsequently, due to increasing rates of HTN and an aging population, chronic kidney disease (CKD) rates have also been climbing. According to the NHANES, between the years 1999 to 2006, CKD stages I to IV has affected 26 million adults in the United States 20 years of age or older [3]. Moreover, the prevalence of patients initiating renal-replacement therapy has increased in many countries, which has added to the substantial cost to already burdened health care systems [4,5].…”

What is the Ideal Blood Pressure Goal for Patients with Stage III or Higher Chronic Kidney Disease?

et al. 2011

Hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are public health problems well known to the national and international medical communities. Blood pressure (BP) control in patients with CKD stage III and IV plays a key factor in reducing cardiovascular risk and renal disease progression. We conducted a literature review of recent studies addressing BP targets and cardiorenal outcomes in patients with CKD. Multiple studies demonstrated cardiovascular benefits associated with greater BP reduction. Nevertheless, a U-shaped relationship between BP, cardiovascular events, and renal function was present. In patients with CKD stage III and IV, a BP less than 140/90 mm Hg appeared to be a reasonable target. Moreover, in patients with CKD and proteinuria of more than 1 g/day, a target systolic BP of 120 to 130 mm Hg and diastolic BP of 70 to 80 mm Hg yielded the greatest benefit while avoiding most of the adverse cardiovascular outcomes associated with lower levels of BP.
