For patients with chronic kidney disease, what is considered a safe blood pressure range--for patients with htn?

At age 66, with some age related resistance to blood flow causing higher blood pressure, a BP of 145 to 150 over 90 to 95 is acceptable, but should be regularly taken to confirm variations which are higher, and your internal medicine physician should be apprised of these readings. Your physician will provide guidance for increased medication with one or more types for chronic HTN.

Control of blood pressure in chronic kidney disease depends on the etiology of kidney disease. With hypertensive kidney disease and no other comorbidity, BP below 140/85 is considered adequate for a person above 60 years old. However, with diabetic kidney disease or any kidney disease with significant proteinuria, BP below 130/80 is the goal. BP should be much lower if heart failure coexists.
