Central Blood Pressure and Chronic Kidney Disease Progression
Key result
Central blood pressure and arterial stiffness measures may serve as informative, noninvasive markers for stratifying the risk of chronic kidney disease progression.
Why the study?
Are measurements of central arterial pressure informative for predicting chronic kidney disease progression?

Cohen et al. (2011) conducted a review in Chronic Kidney Disease. Central blood pressure measurement was evaluated on Chronic kidney disease progression. Central blood pressure and arterial stiffness measures may serve as informative, noninvasive markers for stratifying the risk of chronic kidney disease progression.
