Blood pressure management in CKD patients. Panel A shows the blood pressure goals chosen for patients with stage 3 CKD. Panel B shows the classes of antihypertensive agents identified as first-line therapy to slow the progression of renal failure in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. For panels A and B, data were pooled from all respondents as no differences were found between trainees' or attendings' responses. Panel C shows the proportion of respondents who would add an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor to the regimen of a hypertensive patient with microalbuminuria currently treated with a thiazide diuretic, as a function of the patient's serum creatinine. ***p < 0.005 for family medicine versus internal medicine trainees and p < 0.05 for family medicine trainees versus attendings. p > 0.05 for internal medicine trainees versus attendings.
