Why the study?
Hypertension is a risk factor for kidney failure and CV morbidity, but the efficacy of HBPT combined with case management in remote-dwelling patients with hypertension and CKD remains unproven.
Does home blood pressure telemonitoring plus case management improve systolic blood pressure control compared to telemonitoring with usual care in remote-dwelling patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease?
Population
Primary care patients with CKD and hypertension in Northern Alberta, Canada
Comparison
HBPT plus clinical case management vs HBPT plus usual care

HBPT trial in remote CKD patients will test BP control gains; leaves open effects on kidney failure or CV events.
Does home blood pressure telemonitoring plus case management improve systolic blood pressure control compared to telemonitoring with usual care in remote-dwelling patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease?
This protocol outlines a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether adding case management to home blood pressure telemonitoring improves systolic blood pressure control in remote-dwelling patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease.
