Randomized control trial to Assess the effect of Pharmaceutical care Intervention on blood pressure control among adult chronic kidney Disease patient (RAPID Study) |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
There is a very high prevalence of hypertension in CKD patients with studies reporting 85 – 95%. Uncontrolled hypertension as a risk factor for developing CKD is associated with a more rapid progression of CKD and is the second leading cause of ESRD. However, achieving and maintaining adequate BP control in this CKD population is quite challenging. This has often been attributed to factors such as presence of comorbidities, poor compliance, frequent medication/dosage changes, and dialysis. Hence, more interventions to improve hypertension in CKD are really needed. The importance of a multidisciplinary-team-based CKD care which involves pharmacists (pharmaceutical care) cannot be overemphasized.
This study aim to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical care in achieving a mean change (decrease) in systolic blood pressure (SBP) of patients with CKD from baseline to 6 months of follow-up. Other secondary objectives are mean change in DBP, progression of disease (eGFR) and HRQoL
