Renal outcomes and blood pressure patterns in diabetic and nondiabetic individuals at high cardiovascular risk.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes and hypertension are risk factors for renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Data on the association of achieved blood pressure (BP) with renal outcomes in patients with and without diabetes are sparse. We investigated the association of achieved SBP, DBP with renal outcomes and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in people with vascular disease. METHODS: In this pooled analysis, we assessed renal outcome data from high-risk …
