Key result
Hypertension management prior to end-stage renal failure frequently departed from clinical standards, with the recommended diastolic blood pressure target of 90 mmHg achieved in only 45% of patients.
Why the study?
How well is hypertension managed in patients developing end-stage renal failure compared to British Hypertension Society guidelines?

How well is hypertension managed in patients developing end-stage renal failure compared to British Hypertension Society guidelines?
Hypertension is poorly managed in patients developing end-stage renal failure, with suboptimal blood pressure control potentially accelerating renal decline.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May indicate need for improved pre-ESRD BP monitoring; leaves open whether target achievement alters renal outcomes.
Dasgupta et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Hypertension and end-stage renal failure (n=145). Hypertension management vs. British Hypertension Society guidelines was evaluated on Achievement of recommended standard for diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg. Hypertension management prior to end-stage renal failure frequently departed from clinical standards, with the recommended diastolic blood pressure target of 90 mmHg achieved in only 45% of patients.
