What is the recommended BP treatment threshold and target for patients with CKD?
Although the evidence base for the BP treatment threshold differs from the evidence base for the BP target, it is recommended to use the same BP levels for both parameters. Studies that have not specifically targeted CKD patients demonstrate that BP is a continuous risk factor for CVD BP targets could differ depending on the presence of other CVD risk factors in each patient. This approach contrasts with the one size fits all philosophy that has previously been endorsed. There are far less data in CKD patients to inform the best approach.
