Summary:Salt Restriction The available evidence supports a large component of salt sensitivity to HTN in patients with CKD. [...]educating patients with CKD on a low salt diet is critical to achieving BP control while maintaining a simple BP medication regimen. Diuretic Use in CKD In general, as GFR falls, higher doses of diuretics are needed to achieve a natriuretic response. Because of the reduction in renal function, higher doses of diuretics are typically required in patients with CKD who are usually volume expanded even in the absence of edema. [...]bed time antihypertensive medication may be helpful in CKD patients with hypertension who show non-dipper pattern.
