Proteinuria may lower SBP threshold for eGFR decline; leaves open optimal BP targets in community cohorts.
Do higher systolic blood pressure and proteinuria accelerate renal function decline in a general community-based population?
Higher systolic blood pressure is independently associated with rapid eGFR decline, with a lower threshold for harm in patients with baseline proteinuria.
