Understanding Blood Pressure Targets for Adults with Kidney Disease
Applying Hypertension Clinical Trials to Real World Adults with CKD
This project looks at existing information to find the best blood pressure goals for adults living with chronic kidney disease.

What this research studies
Many adults with chronic kidney disease also have high blood pressure, and finding the right treatment is very important. Doctors currently have different ideas about the best blood pressure targets for these patients. This project will carefully look at health records from millions of people and combine that with information from past blood pressure studies. The goal is to understand the real-world benefits and risks of different blood pressure goals for people with kidney disease.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project focuses on adults aged 21 and older who have chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure, particularly those who might be similar to participants in previous large blood pressure studies.
Not a fit: Patients without chronic kidney disease or high blood pressure would not directly benefit from the findings of this specific project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help doctors provide clearer, more personalized recommendations for blood pressure management in adults with chronic kidney disease, potentially improving their health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: This project builds upon the strong evidence from previous randomized controlled trials like SPRINT, extending their findings to a broader, real-world patient population.
