This was a great discussion of the most recent KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines for blood pressure management in patients with non-dialysis CKD.

Although the new systolic target is 120 mm Hg, the wake-up call for many will be considering how blood pressure is measured rather than the target itself.
