Association of Time-Varying Blood Pressure With Chronic Kidney Disease Progression in Children

Importance

Optimal blood pressure (BP) management in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) slows progression to end-stage renal disease. Studies often base progression risk on a single baseline BP measurement, which may underestimate risk.

Objective

To determine whether time-varying BP measurements are associated with a higher risk of progression of CKD than baseline BP measurements.
