Results: We identified 11 trials providing information on 9287 patients with chronic kidney disease and 1264 kidney failure events (defined as either a composite of doubling of serum creatinine level and 50% decline in glomerular filtration rate, or end-stage kidney disease). Compared with standard...
Morning home, bedtime home, and office BP significantly decreased (allp<0.001) from baseline to EOT in both groups. The urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level decreased from baseline to Week 12 in both groups, with no notable intergroup difference....

As defined by recent guidelines, CKD is characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of ≥ 30 mg/g, or a combination of both [22]. Statistical analysis All data in this study were analyzed in accordance with ...

These tests included assessments of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, albumin, globulin, sodium, chloride, serum urea nitrogen, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin-globulin ratio, potassium, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and ...
As recommended by the American Heart Association and National Kidney Foundation (10, 11), renal function was assessed using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation (12), a serum creatinine-based estimate of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as described previously (13). Patien...
