A recent study published in the Kidney Medicine provided crucial insights into the management of blood pressure in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study, conducted within the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study, focused on isolated diastolic hypertension and its potential impact on kidney and cardiovascular outcomes.
Isolated diastolic hypertension occurs when systolic blood pressure (SBP) is controlled but diastolic blood pressure (DBP) remains high. In this study, 6.2% of the 5,621 participants exhibited isolated diastolic hypertension, defined as SBP ≤ 130 mm Hg and DBP >80 mm Hg. The reference group had normal blood pressure, defined as SBP ≤ 130 mm Hg and DBP ≤ 80 mm Hg.
