Background

Isolated Diastolic Hypertension (IDH) has drawn increased interest after the new definition of hypertension proposed by the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines. Our analysis examined the prevalence of IDH, and the association of IDH with adverse renal and CV outcomes in patients with CKD

Methods

Participants in the CRIC Study; a multicenter observational cohort of ethnically diverse patients with CKD aged 21-74 years. IDH was defined as Systolic BP≤ 130 and DBP >80. Outcomes were composite kidney events (50% decline in eGFR or onset of ESKD), composite CV events (MI, CHF, stroke, PAD) and all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for demographic and clinical covariates

Results

The cohort included 5621 participants with a mean age of 59 years; 44% were females and 43%were Black. 51% had diabetes. IDH was present in 6.1% fof participants at baseline. After median follow up of 17 years, there was no statistically significant association between IDH and composite kidney outcome (Hazrd ration (HR) 1.17 95% CI 0.93-1.47, p 0.18)The findings were consistent in subgroups by age ≤60 years or >60 years (HR 1.14 95% CI 0.88-1.48, p=0.31and HR 1.55 95% CI 0.84-2.83, p 0.16 respectively) No association was found between presence of IDH and risk of composite CV events (HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.65-1.27, p=0.58) or all-cause mortality (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.57-1.19, p 0.30)

Conclusion

The Prevalence of IDH in this cohort of participants with CKD patients is 6.1%, similar to that in non-CKD populations. IDH is not associated with risk of adverse kidney and CV events irrespective of age
