Why the study?
Does a low blood pressure goal reduce the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria in patients with chronic renal disease?
Population
840 patients with chronic renal diseases of diverse cause. Excluded diabetic patients requiring insulin.
Comparison
Low blood pressure goal vs Usual blood pressure goal
Design
RCT, randomly assigned

Supports lower BP goals preferentially in proteinuric CKD; extends RCT evidence for proteinuria as modifier of GFR benefit.
Does a low blood pressure goal reduce the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria in patients with chronic renal disease?
A lower blood pressure goal slows the progression of renal disease more effectively in patients with higher baseline proteinuria.
John C. Peterson (1995) studied this question.
