It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Professor John Low Reid earlier this month.

Professor Reid was Head of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Glasgow, a Consultant Clinical Pharmacologist with a focus on hypertension and stroke, and served as Regius Professor of Medicine and Therapeutics.

He will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude for his remarkable scientific achievements, his dedication to patient care, and his lasting impact on the international hypertension community.

Deficits in CKD screening and management in European patients with hypertension – A call to action

In 2024, the ESH conducted a survey among its Excellence Centres. Our research has identified several gaps in CKD management, prompting us to issue a Call to Action to address these critical issues.

We invite you to support this important ESH initiative to enhance the care of hypertensive patients with CKD.
