Blood Pressure Management for Kidney Failure
(GOAL-BP Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The GOAL-BP pilot study will help determine whether a study comparing two blood pressure goals can be carried out in adults with end-stage kidney disease and high blood pressure who receive peritoneal dialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are whether eligible patients can be recruited for the study.
Researchers will compare two goals for the top blood pressure number (systolic blood pressure): below 120 mmHg versus below 140 mmHg.This pilot study will help plan a larger trial in the future.
Participants will:
* Be assigned by chance to one of the two blood pressure goals.
* Have their blood pressure measured at clinic visits about every two weeks.
* Work with their kidney doctor on recommended changes to fluid management, peritoneal dialysis treatment, or blood pressure medicines to reach their assigned goal.
* Be part of the study for about four and a half months.

Trial Overview
The study compares two different blood pressure targets: keeping the top number (systolic) below 120 mmHg versus below 140 mmHg in people on peritoneal dialysis. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these groups for about four and a half months.
