The Importance of Ambulatory and Home Monitoring Blood Pressure in Resistant Hypertension Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease

Resistant Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Resistant hypertension (RH) is defined as blood pressure (BP) that remains above the target despite the use of ≥3 full-dose antihypertensive drugs including a diuretic or as BP at target with four or more drugs. In CKD, RH occurs in about one third of patients. Main determinants are sodium retention, increased activity of renin-angiotensin system, and sympathetic nervous system. To ensure correct diagnosis of RH, it is mandatory to exclude the “pseudoresistance,” a condition mainly caused by white coat hypertension, poor adherence to antihypertensive therapy, and inadequate diuretic therapy. Identification of CKD patients with RH is critical since these patients are exposed to a greater risk for renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Limiting dietary sodium intake is the cornerstone of treatment in RH due to its direct lowering BP effect but also because low sodium diet enhances the efficacy of other classes of antihypertensive drugs.
