Key result
Home BP telemonitoring improves general control but shows unclear impact in non-dialysis CKD.
Why the study?
The effects of home blood pressure telemonitoring on blood pressure control in patients with chronic kidney disease remain unclear.
Comparison
Home blood pressure telemonitoring versus usual care
Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis
Does not support CKD-specific use of home BP telemonitoring; dedicated trials needed to clarify efficacy.
Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and death. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of using home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) for BP control and outcomes, but the effects of this intervention remain unclear in patients with CKD.

Muneer et al. (2021) studied this question. Home blood pressure telemonitoring is effective for general blood pressure control, but its specific impact on patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease remains unclear.
