Summary:In elderly chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, isolated systolic hypertension is common, the rate of renal function decline is slow, and there is a high possibility of physical damage due to side effects such as drug use-related orthostatic hypotension. Therefore, there are still many questions about whether lowering blood pressure in elderly patients will actually improve prognosis. Since many blood pressure-related clinical studies exclude advanced CKD and the elderly, it is particularly difficult to define target blood pressure in these populations. A randomized controlled trial is needed to establish optimal blood pressure targets and treatment strategies in elderly patients with CKD. This review seeks to summarize the guidelines available at this time.
