Key result
Blood pressure targets of <140/90 mmHg (or <130/80 mmHg for proteinuric disease) are recommended for chronic kidney disease, though evidence strength diminishes in advanced disease.

BP targets in advanced CKD remain debated; leaves open optimal thresholds pending dedicated RCTs.
What are the optimal blood pressure control targets for patients with chronic kidney disease?
Current guidelines recommend specific BP targets for CKD, but highlight a critical gap in evidence for patients with advanced CKD, necessitating future dedicated clinical trials.
Knight et al. (2014) conducted a review in Chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Blood pressure targets was evaluated. Blood pressure targets of <140/90 mmHg (or <130/80 mmHg for proteinuric disease) are recommended for chronic kidney disease, though evidence strength diminishes in advanced disease.
