Why the study?
Does annual ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve the detection of hypertension phenotypes compared to office blood pressure in pediatric kidney transplant recipients?
Does annual ambulatory blood pressure monitoring improve the detection of hypertension phenotypes compared to office blood pressure in pediatric kidney transplant recipients?
Annual ambulatory BP monitoring is recommended for pediatric kidney transplant recipients to detect hypertension phenotypes missed by office BP.
Ambulatory BP monitoring should be performed annually in all pediatric kidney transplant recipients to diagnose hypertension phenotypes that are not detectable by office BP such as masked hypertension, white-coat hypertension, or INH. Isolated nocturnal hypertension in pediatric transplant patients requires study as a treatment target.
