At CT Kidney and Hypertension Specialists, we are always looking for innovative ways to improve your care. We are excited to share that we have partnered with Nsight, a leader in remote health monitoring, to offer home blood pressure (BP) monitoring.

Why Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Matters for Kidney Health

High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney damage. Taking consistent, accurate blood pressure readings every day is very important for people with kidney disease.Blood pressure readings during a single office visit may not fully capture fluctuationhypertension graphics that occur throughout the day or week. However, with home blood pressure monitoring, you can take multiple readings at different times, giving us a more complete and accurate picture of your health.

The Benefits of Home BP Monitoring Over Single Office Readings

  1. More Accurate Picture of BP Trends:
    Single office readings can sometimes be skewed due to stress or other factors (known as white coat syndrome). Home monitoring provides readings in a comfortable setting, offering a true reflection of your blood pressure levels.
  2. Timely Adjustments for Better Control:
    By tracking BP in between office visits, we can make more informed decisions about adjustments to your medication or treatment plan.
  3. Increased Engagement and Empowerment:
    With Nsight’s technology, you are empowered to manage your hypertension actively and more aggressively to help you reach your target blood pressure. Monitoring at home gives you the opportunity to take control of your health and report back regularly, enabling us to work together toward better outcomes.
  4. Convenience and Consistency:
    You no longer have to wait for your next office appointment to check your blood pressure. The ability to monitor at home allows for consistent data collection, which leads to more accurate decision-making and ultimately, better control of your blood pressure.
  5. Early Detection of Hypertension Changes:
    Remote monitoring helps identify small changes in BP before they become bigger issues, allowing us to take action early and prevent complications like kidney damage.
  6. Nsight health offers online and phone support with nurses and a care team for abnormal readings and informs your physicians of any alerts or concerns
