What is the goal SBP for patients with hypertension and CKD?

  1. < 120 mmHg

  2. < 130 mmHg

  3. < 140 mmHg

  4. < 150 mmHg

The correct answer is: < 120 mmHg

The goal systolic blood pressure (SBP) for patients with hypertension and CKD is to have a reading of less than 120 mmHg. This is because higher SBP levels have been linked to a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and worsening of kidney function. Option B and Option C may still be within the acceptable range for patients with CKD alone, but for those with both hypertension and CKD, the goal is to achieve a lower SBP. Option D may also be considered acceptable for some patients, but it is not the goal specified for this specific population. High blood pressure in patients with CKD can also lead to further kidney damage, making the recommended SBP goal of < 120 mmHg important in managing this condition.
