What is the guideline for clinicians to target an SBP in patients with CKD?
The guideline for clinicians is to target an SBP below 120 mm Hg in patients with CKD. This would result in a median SBP around 120 mm Hg, meaning that 50% of patients would have SBP above 120 mm Hg at any one time. Furthermore, a more stringent recommendation would be that all patients should achieve an SBP below 120 mm Hg, but this would go beyond the available evidence from the SPRINT study which targeted an SBP below 120 mm Hg and achieved a mean SBP of 121.4 mm Hg.
