Does more intensive blood pressure lowering reduce mortality in patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease stages 3 to 5?
More intensive blood pressure control is associated with reduced mortality in patients with hypertension and advanced chronic kidney disease.
Randomization to more intensive BP control is associated with lower mortality risk among trial participants with hypertension and CKD. Further studies are required to define absolute BP targets for maximal benefit and minimal harm.
