Summary

Update to the 2012 KDIGO BP guideline covering BP measurement, lifestyle interventions, antihypertensive therapy in CKD (with/without diabetes), kidney transplant recipients, and children. Major changes from 2012: emphasis on standardized office BP measurement, lower SBP target of <120 mm Hg for most adults with non-dialysis CKD (largely from SPRINT), and a unified target irrespective of diabetes, proteinuria, or older age. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors remain first-line for CKD with albuminuria; dual RAS blockade is to be avoided.
