Blood pressure and phosphate level in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease: Results of the cross-sectional “Low Clearance Consultation” study

Abstract

A statistically significant and moderate positive correlation was verified between systolic blood pressure and plasma phosphate concentration in the whole sample (diabetic and non-diabetic), due to the diabetic chronic kidney disease group.A statistically significant and moderate positive correlation was verified between the diastolic blood pressure and plasma phosphate concentration in the whole sample (diabetic and non-diabetic), due to the diabetic chronic kidney disease group.A statistically significant and strong negative correlation was found between diastolic blood pressure and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the diabetic chronic kidney disease group, but there was no statistically significant correlation in the whole sample (diabetic and non-diabetic).
