What are the lifestyle modifications that can help in controlling blood pressure in CKD patients?
Individuals with CKD generally have higher blood pressure levels than people with normal kidney function and their BP may be particularly sensitive to some factors related to lifestyle. Factors such as salt intake, weight and body mass, and alcohol intake have been linked to BP level. Lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy body weight, reducing salt intake, and limiting alcohol consumption can help in controlling BP in CKD patients.
