Background
Activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is increased in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We tested the hypothesis that hypertensive patients with CKD enrolled in the Global Symplicity Registry (GSR) show different patterns in blood pressure (BP) outcomes in the short- and long-term follow-up.
Methods
The GSR (NCT 01534299) is a prospective, open-label, international, multicentre observational study for assessment of safety and effectiveness of renal denervation (RDN) among real-world patients treated with the Symplicity™ RDN system (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, CA, USA). Inclusion criteria are age ≥18 years and eligibility for RDN. 24-h ambulatory BP was assessed at pre-specified time-points (6, 12, 24 and 36 months). For the current analyses, enrolled patients (N=1600) were stratified based on baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate in <60 vs. ≥60ml/min/1.73m2 into with (N=383) and without (N=1217) CKD groups.
Results
Patients with CKD were significantly older (p<0.0001) and were treated with more antihypertensive medications (p<0.0001) compared to patients without CKD. 24-h ambulatory diastolic (but not systolic) BP was lower in patients with compared to without CKD (152.9±19/81.3±13 vs. 153.2±18/87.2±14 mmHg, p=0.6380/<0.0001), resulting in an increased pulse pressure. In patients with and without CKD, 24-h ambulatory BP was reduced after RDN compared to baseline values at all time-points (all p<0.01). There was no difference in 24-h ambulatory systolic BP reduction after RDN in favor of patients with compared to without CKD, even after adjustment (Table).
Conclusion
Hypertensive patients with CKD did not show a greater short-term or long-term decrease in 24-hour ambulatory BP.
