flag New study finds lowering blood pressure to 120 mm Hg benefits kidney disease patients, reducing major heart events.

flag A new study shows that the benefits of lowering blood pressure to below 120 mm Hg, as seen in the SPRINT trial, also apply to patients with chronic kidney disease in real-world settings. flag This intensive approach reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events and death, though it increased the risk of some adverse events like acute kidney injury. flag The research, using data from the Veterans Health Administration and Kaiser Permanente of Southern California, suggests that this treatment can be effectively applied to similar patients in clinical practice.
