A NEPHROHUB masterclass organized by the Department of Nephrology and Renal Replacement Therapy addressed one of the key challenges in nephrology: the management of arterial hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) across the full spectrum of treatment stages — from pre-dialysis to kidney transplantation.
Hypertension, as a principal pathophysiological factor in CKD progression, remains a complex therapeutic target. Participants examined current evidence and clinical strategies for blood pressure control in diverse settings, including ambulatory care, dialysis, and post-transplantation monitoring.
Key discussion points included:
- validated blood pressure measurement techniques in CKD;
- treatment algorithms stratified by CKD stages 1–3 and 4–5;
- individualized drug selection based on renal replacement modality.
The event underscored the shift from rigid antihypertensive protocols to adaptive, evidence-based approaches that consider laboratory data, hemodynamic parameters, and clinical context.
Bringing together specialists from multiple disciplines, the masterclass reaffirmed that arterial hypertension in CKD is not a static number, but a dynamic, multifactorial clinical domain, requiring personalized therapeutic strategies grounded in precision medicine.
