Hypertension is an important risk determinant for chronic kidney disease: results from a cross-sectional, observational study from a rural population in South India.

abstract：:This article reviews the current literature regarding the role of home measurement of blood pressure (BP) in the management of hypertension. Subjects with hypertension can use simple automated devices to measure their own BP at home. The results can be accurate and reliable, and because multiple readings allow a mean ...
