Hardy ST, et al. - Researchers intended to gain insights into the benefits of modest population-wide decrements in blood pressure on incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) using multivariable linear regression. They tested two approaches for blood pressure management: a 1-mm Hg reduction in systolic BP across the entire study population; and a 10% reduction in participants with unaware, untreated, and uncontrolled BP above goal as defined by the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) thresholds. They found that for the primary prevention of CKD, modest population-wide reductions in systolic BP hold potential as the tested approaches were found to result in fewer CKD events.
