Prevalence, determinants, and clinical significance of masked hypertension and white‐coat hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease

What is the prevalence and clinical significance of masked hypertension and white-coat hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease?

P

Population

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

O

Outcome

Prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCHT) and masked hypertension (MHT), and their relationship with target organ damage (TOD)

Masked and white-coat hypertension are relatively common in patients with chronic kidney disease and are associated with target organ damage.

Prevalence of WCHT and MHT was 10.21% and 16.11%, respectively. WCHT and MHT show a close relationship with TOD in CKD patients.
