Blood pressure is thought to be a key determinant of major clinical outcomes in children with chronic kidney disease, including progression of kidney disease and development of cardiovascular disease. The Effect of Strict Blood Pressure Control and ACE Inhibition on the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in Pediatric Patients (ESCAPE) trial showed that lowering ambulatory blood pressure targets slows kidney disease progression and remains the basis for current clinical recommendations.
