Hypertension management in chronic kidney disease: translating guidelines into daily practice.
Conclusions: Sustained nephrology management improves hypertension control in CKD, but achievement of BP goals remains suboptimal, with high systolic BP and diabetes being the main problems. Further studies are needed to verify the clinical significance of BP and proteinuria changes in patients whose BP remains above target levels.
