Overview

Supports proteinuria assessment in CKD hypertension evaluation; leaves open causal links and intervention effects.

Structured PICO

What are the strongest correlates of systolic hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease?

P
Population
232 veterans with chronic kidney disease (mean age 67 years; 96% men; 20% black; 39% with diabetes mellitus; estimated GFR 48 mL/min per 1.73 m2)
O
Outcome
Relationship between risk factors for hypertension and systolic blood pressure measured by clinic and out-of-clinic techniquessurrogate

Proteinuria is the strongest correlate of systolic blood pressure in older men with CKD, with out-of-clinic BP recordings correlating better with target organ damage than clinic recordings.
