Key result
BP control and sodium restriction may delay aortic stiffness despite no correlation with CKD stage.
Controlling blood pressure and restricting sodium intake may be effective in delaying arterial stiffness in patients with CKD.
No correlation with CKD stage cautions against stiffness-guided staging; leaves open whether BP control and sodium restriction slow progression.
No significant correlation is observed between aortic stiffness and CKD of different stages. Control blood pressure and restrict sodium intake may be effective means of delaying arterial stiffness in patients with CKD.

Ye et al. (2016) studied this question. Aortic stiffness shows no significant correlation with chronic kidney disease stages, but blood pressure control and sodium restriction may delay arterial stiffness in these patients.
