What blood pressure measurements are used to assess the health of adults with CKD?
Adults with CKD are typically assessed using a variety of blood pressure measurements, including MAP (mean arterial pressure), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure. Tables S41-S56 of the Data Supplement provide information on correlation of blood pressure measurement techniques in patients with CKD, accuracy of blood pressure measurement techniques in the general population, systematic reviews of approaches to blood pressure measurement in the general population and associations with clinical outcomes, systematic reviews of economic evaluations of differing approaches to BP measurement in the general population, and studies on the effects of low-protein and high-base diets, exercise, and low blood pressure targets on adults with CKD.
