Key result
Sodium restriction and a combination of a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone medication and a calcium channel blocker are the most effective methods of managing hypertension in patients with CKD.
Why the study?
Chronic kidney disease and hypertension are intrinsically linked, with cardiovascular events being the leading cause of mortality in CKD patients.

Population
US population with chronic kidney disease
Comparison
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone medication plus calcium channel blocker versus other hypertension management methods
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension are intrinsically linked. Although 59% of the US population will be diagnosed with CKD during their lifetimes, mortality is usually due to a cardiovascular event. Sodium restriction and a combination of a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone medication and a calcium channel blocker are the most effective methods of managing hypertension in patients with CKD.
