What is the scope of the KDIGO Guideline on the Management of Blood Pressure in Chronic Kidney Disease?
The scope of the KDIGO Guideline on the Management of Blood Pressure in Chronic Kidney Disease is to provide advice on the management of BP in patients with non dialysis-dependent CKD (CKD ND). It avoids using the term hypertension in its title because it is difficult to define precise targets appropriate for all CKD subpopulations, and because agents introduced primarily to treat high BP may have actions that may not be directly linked to BP-lowering.
