Why the study?
Studies on the longitudinal temporal trend of BP and its impact on kidney function are scarce.
Does an increasing or decreasing longitudinal systolic blood pressure trajectory alter the risk of CKD progression compared to a stable trajectory in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Does an increasing or decreasing longitudinal systolic blood pressure trajectory alter the risk of CKD progression compared to a stable trajectory in patients with chronic kidney disease?
In patients with chronic kidney disease, an increasing systolic blood pressure trajectory over 1 year is associated with a significantly higher risk of CKD progression compared to a stable trajectory.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
SBP trajectory monitoring may refine CKD risk stratification; leaves open whether modifying trajectories alters progression.
