Why the study?
Does twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve the predictability of BP as a risk factor for target organ damage in pediatric dialysis patients compared to pre- and postdialysis measurements?
Does twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve the predictability of BP as a risk factor for target organ damage in pediatric dialysis patients compared to pre- and postdialysis measurements?
Twenty-four-hour ABPM enhances the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of hypertension in pediatric dialysis patients compared to standard pre- and postdialysis BP measurements.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
ABPM may better inform hypertension management in pediatric dialysis; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials before practice change.
ABPM is more informative than pre- and postdialysis BPs and improves the predictability of BP as a risk factor for target organ damage. Diagnosis and treatment monitoring of HTN among pediatric dialysis patients is enhanced with addition of ABPM.
