Abstract
In observational studies the relationship between blood
pressure and chronic kidney diseases is direct and progressive.
Evidence from numerous clinical trials has demonstrated
the benefit of blood pressure control. Till now however
blood-pressure target for optimal renal protection is
controversial. Previously European guidelines on the management
of hypertension: the European Society of Hypertension
position statement from 2007 and Polish guidelines
from 2008 recommended reduction of blood pressure
below 130/80 mm Hg and in patients with proteinuria
below 125/75 mm Hg.
The latest European and Polish guidelines recommended higher threshold of blood pressure below 140/90 mm Hg for these patients. In this paper we review current evidence concerning blood pressure goals in patients with chronic kidney diseases.
