View Full PaperBlood pressure monitoring in kidney transplantation: a systematic review on hypertension and target organ damage
Structured PICO
Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) reflect target organ damage more closely than office blood pressure (oBP) in kidney transplant recipients?
P
Population
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs)
I
Intervention
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
C
Comparator
Office blood pressure (oBP)
O
Outcome
Target organ damage (renal and cardiovascular)surrogate
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is superior to office blood pressure in reflecting renal and cardiovascular target organ damage in kidney transplant recipients.
Abstract
In our systematic review, ABPM reflected target organ damage more closely than oBP in KTRs. Furthermore, altered circadian BP profile associated with renal and CV target organ damages.
