Why the study?
Does increasing systolic blood pressure or widening pulse pressure over time increase the risk of rapid kidney function decline in adults without chronic kidney disease?
Population
3,920 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis without chronic kidney disease who had ≥2 BP…
Comparison
Increasing systolic blood pressure or widening… vs Stable SBP or PP over 5 years
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
10 years (5 years for BP change, 5 years for eGFR change)

BP trajectory monitoring may flag early renal risk; leaves open whether targeting variability slows decline in preserved eGFR.
Does increasing systolic blood pressure or widening pulse pressure over time increase the risk of rapid kidney function decline in adults without chronic kidney disease?
Increasing systolic blood pressure and widening pulse pressure over time are associated with accelerated kidney function decline in adults without baseline chronic kidney disease, even at levels below established hypertension thresholds.
