May warrant closer renal monitoring in middle-aged men with hypertension; leaves open whether BP reduction slows eGFR decline.
Does elevated baseline blood pressure accelerate renal function decline in middle-aged adults?
Elevated baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure are associated with a dose-dependent decline in renal function in middle-aged adults, particularly in men with lower baseline eGFR.
Wang et al. (2014) studied this question.
