What lifestyle interventions may have BP-lowering benefits in patients with CKD?
Weight loss among those who are overweight or obese, reducing alcohol consumption among those who drink heavily, and adopting a heart-healthy diet pattern have been demonstrated in RCTs to lower BP in the general population. These lifestyle interventions may also have BP-lowering benefits in patients with CKD, and it may be reasonable to consider them when they can be applied safely and without side effects.
