Why the study?
Adequate blood pressure control can reduce adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes in chronic kidney disease, but the prevalence and determinants of poor control required evaluation in this population.

High uncontrolled BP prevalence in CKD hypertension signals need for local strategies; cross-sectional data leaves causal predictors open for confirmation.
What is the prevalence of poor blood pressure control and its predictors among chronic kidney disease patients with hypertension in a Nigerian tertiary hospital?
A high proportion (74.4%) of CKD patients in a Nigerian tertiary hospital have poorly controlled blood pressure, particularly younger patients, those on multiple antihypertensives, and those with significant proteinuria.
