ESH CKD Real-World-Evidence Research
“Deficits in CKD screening and management in European patients with hypertension – A call to action”
In 2024, the ESH conducted a survey among its Excellence Centres on CKD management in hypertensive patients. The findings have been published in two papers, available here:
- Hypertension management of CKD patients in Europe – Halimi et al. J Hypertens 2024
- Management of patients with hypertension and CKD – Halimi et al. Blood Press. 2024.
To provide a concise overview, we have also created a short infographic summarizing the key findings.

The infografic can be download here
Our research has identified several gaps in CKD management, prompting us to issue a Call to Action to address these critical issues. We invite you to support this important ESH initiative to enhance the care of hypertensive patients with CKD.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the ESH Coordinator, Mandy Elgner, at eshcoordinator@eshonline.org, she will ensure your request reaches the appropriate ESH representative.
Thank you for your support and commitment to improving patient care.
