Article Synopsis
- Developing hypertension guidelines for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is challenging, but the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Group has based their recommendations on thorough evidence review, supported by the European Renal Best Practice.
- Clinicians are advised to individualize treatment based on factors like co-morbidities, age, gender, and race, while also closely monitoring side effects, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and diabetics.
- While ACE inhibitors and ARBs are essential for managing hypertension, their effectiveness can vary in advanced CKD cases; therefore, considering additional antihypertensive options is important for better blood pressure control.
