There are significant sex disparities in the management of hypertension and chronic kidney disease, with women being significantly less likely to receive guideline-recommended albuminuria testing.
Hypertension is both a precursor to and a sequela of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypertension is increasingly prevalent as kidney function declines and occurs in between 60 and 90% of individuals with CKD [ 1 ]. Optimisation of blood pressure control reduces cardiovascular risk in CKD and may slow kidney disease progression [ 1 ] thus blood pressure control is a critical component of CKD management.
