Key result
Hypertension was associated with a higher average rate of chronic kidney disease progression in children compared to those without hypertension.
Why the study?
Does the presence of hypertension accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease in children?
Does the presence of hypertension accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease in children?
Hypertension is associated with a higher rate of chronic kidney disease progression in children over a 10-year period, often requiring intensified multidrug treatment.
Supports closer BP monitoring in pediatric CKD; leaves open whether treatment slows progression.
The aim of this study was the long-term retrospective analysis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in children, especially with regard to the presence of hypertension (HTN). The average rate of progression of CKD was higher in patients with HTN than without HTN. Hypertension treatment requires multidrug schemes which need to be intensified with extended time of CKD duration.
