Authors

Systematic review finds lower systolic BP may slow CKD progression, indicating careful BP management is necessary.

Lower systolic BP levels, particularly ≤ 120 mmHg, are associated with slower GFR decline.
Studies indicate BP variability metrics predict faster CKD progression in several cohorts.
The review highlights the need for individualized BP targets based on patient characteristics.
Heterogeneity in methods and definitions limits the certainty of pooled outcomes from included studies.

Smikadi et al. (2025) studied this question.
